Description of problem: Currently, when you do a kickstart install, you can specify that the swap partition is NOT reformatted with the --noformat option. This is very, very useful if you have a multi-boot system where you have different version (Releases) of Fedora, CentOS, etc. all using the same swap partition(s). If the swap partition is reformatted then booting one of the previously installed systems will have problems because the partitions' UUID will have changed and swap can no longer be found. When you do a GUI or TUI install, you must reformat the swap partition for it to be used. Since kickstart proves that this is unnecessary, "noformat" should also be supported for GUI/TUI. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-21.38-1
Looked at the code and gave a text instal a test. TUI is hopeless as only auto is supported. There are comments in pyanaconda/ui/gui/custom.py which "imply" that an existing swap partition will be included as "noformat". Still researching.
This is the same thing as bug 892659, right?
Sorry ... I forgot I already had a BZ reort on this. Closing as dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 892659 ***
