Anaconda now displays a warning if LDL-formatted DASDs are detected during installation
On IBM System z, DASDs with LDL (Linux Disk Layout) format are recognized by the kernel, but the installer does not support them. If one or more such DASDs are detected by Anaconda, it will display a warning informing you of their unsupported status and offering to format them as CDL (Compatibility Disk Layout), which is a fully supported format type.

*** Bug 1248006 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Ugh, lots of unrelated "blocks" were added when I duped some other bug, so removing all the irrelevant ones. During testing of this bug, 3 related issues were discovered: Bug 1259437 - unformatted and LDL DASD disks not formatted during kickstart installation in text mode Bug 1269863 - AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'devices' Bug 1269955 - Unexpected behavior when both unformatted and LDL disks are used during text mode installation Since this RFE doesn't work in some cases, I'm moving this bug back to ASSIGNED, marking the 3 bugs blocking this one. Detection and formatting of LDL disks works fine - tried in text and vnc mode, kickstart and manual installation, the installer reformatted LDL disks with CDL. Tested with anaconda-21.48.22.86-1.el7, pykickstart-1.99.66.10-1.el7, python-blivet-0.61.15.55-1.el7. Thanks, moving to VERIFIED.
