Description Adam Williamson 2023-09-05 20:43:42 UTC

In the current webUI design, we show you information on what mount points are "required" only on the "Mount point assignment" screen (and, sometimes, on completion of that screen), but the "Modify storage" link (to launch blivet-gui) is shown on the "Installation method" page, before you reach "Mount point assignment".

So at the time you get to create partitions, you've received no information about what partitions you're actually required to create.

I can't see an obvious fix for this, but it's not a great experience.

Reproducible: Always

I wonder if extending the pre-blivet-gui dialog introduced in https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/5113 (to address https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2234448 ) could address this.

This is still the case currently.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2024-02-14 08:58:01 UTC

This is better with the new cockpit-storage approach, because the requirements are shown in the cockpit-storage interface where you do the custom partitioning.
