Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 19-final by Fedora user bcl using the blocker tracking app because: UEFI systems should share the system partition, not create new ones for each parallel install. Patches from http://dlehman.fedorapeople.org/patches/20130430-efi.0/ fix this. Discussed at 2013-06-19 freeze exception review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-06-19/f19final-blocker-review-7.2013-06-19-16.01.log.txt . Accepted as a freeze exception issue: this is clearly incorrect behaviour and could conceivably even cause issues for other installed UEFI OSes. We ought to be doing what we're supposed to be doing when installing with an existing UEFI ESP. anaconda-19.30.10-1.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-19.30.10-1.fc19 Verified fixed with F19 RC1 Live. Great job. python-blivet-0.17-1.fc19, anaconda-19.30.13-1.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Note: the fix for this may have caused https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979205 . I'm walking through a disk configuration now for F20-Beta-TC5 and it wants to create a new one for me. Is it still desired to share a single EFI system partition? I probably broke this with my bootloader patch :/ Reopening per comment 13. The reason for the error is different, and is fixed by the patch for bug 1021258 I'm installing http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/live-respins/F20-i686-LIVE-DESK-20140411.iso and it still wants to create another efi system partition. Is it just fixed for Rawhide? Or is it supposed to be fixed in updated F20? i686? We don't officially support UEFI on i686 at all. Sorry, my mistake, I pasted the wrong filename. I checked the local ISO, F20-x86_64-LIVE-DESK-20140411.iso would be the correct filename. Maybe it's because the EFI filessystem is in FAT32?
