Cockpit does not allow setting or changing any of the information shown in this content tab, and the "Name" can easily be confused with the "Name" in the "Filesystem" content tab.

Also, the less tabs we have, the easier the move to a new layout without any tabs will be.

See #19170 for an example of the "Name" confusion.

The tests needs adapting quite a bit. I'll do that once we have agreed that we really want to remove this tab.

Indeed there isn't too much information there:

The size is already shown in the row header (progress bar), and the GPT UUIDs are indecipherable for a human as well. The type might be more useful on a classic MSDOS partition, though? Could this be moved as "Partition type" into the filesystem tab perhaps?

I have no strong opinion here... we can also leave it as it is until we get to it during the redesign.

We will probably want to eventually offer resizing of partitions, so we need a partition specific place for that... hmm.

Let's not do this.
