Description Jurgen Kramer 2012-04-07 16:26:11 UTC

Description of problem:
On a MAC (EFI mode) Anaconda creates a new 200MB hfs+ boot partition for each new install leading to numerous (unused) 200MB partitions and many boot options to choose from :-)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Anaconda from 17-Beta.RC3

How reproducible:
For each fresh install of F17

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose to start new install
2. select review partition/boot options
3.
  
Actual results:
Anaconda creates a new 200MB hfs+ partition each new install leading to numerous (unused) hfs+ 200MB partitions and many unusable boot options

Expected results:
Re-use of hfs+ partition created by anaconda in a previous install

Additional info:
Maybe anaconda does not see the hfs+ partitions as linux partitions and therefore creates a new one instead of reusing the existing one.
