Another solution that occurs to me is that the initial user account
creation could perhaps be disabled in sysconfig when it detects such a
condition. I'm not sure I like it, necessarily, but it also prevents
the system ending up in maintenance mode from this situation, which
seems important to me.
Comparing with other alternatives, I think this would be the best
trade off for now. In addition to that, related help screen could be
amended to clarify that behavior.
Unless we work out another solution, if you agree, I would proceed with
this approach. I think filing separate CR would be perhaps appropriate
as these
changes would end up if install gate (while config-user ones will
go into ON one).
I don't have a better idea, but I'd like Drew to agree with this, too.
I think this solution has the most merit. We can alter sysconfig to
detect this entire condition and inform the user during sysconfig rather
than after the fact (when the system is in maintenance mode) and point
them to documentation to help them.
Also, with sysconfig groups project, coming back later (after the
datasets and mountpoints are set correctly) to only configure the admin
user will be considerably easier on the user.
