Description of problem: Manual Partitioning, click on an existing partition I'd like to reuse, but the Mount Point field is grayed out. So it can't be used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-21.46-2.fc21.x86_64 python-blivet-0.60-1.fc21.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get to Manual Partitioning 2. Click on "Unknown" to reveal all existing partitions. 3a. Click on Unknown(sda4) 95MiB partition 3b. Click on Unknown(sda5) 1024MiB partition Actual results: Mount Point field is grayed out I can't click on it, for either partition I've tried clicking on. Expected results: I should be able to click on the Mount Point field. Additional info: I'm allowed to check the Reformat checkbox, and upon clicking Update Settings, I get a yellow banner at the bottom that says "Please enter a valid mountpoint." Yet I can't do that.

Proposing as a beta release blocker bug: "When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to Assign mount points to existing storage volumes."
OK interesting. Both partitions are unformatted. I formatted one HFS+ and the other ext4, rebooted and reran the installer, and now it lets me set a mount point for them. If I wipefs them, reboot and rerun the installer, I can't.

Also I'm unable to change Device Type, so I can't make an unformatted partition into an LVM PV, or a BTRFS device. Even if I check reformat as ext4, Update Settings so the mountpoint is added, I then still can't change Device Type as it's grayed out. anaconda-21.48.4-1.fc21.i686 python-blivet-0.62-1.fc21.noarch
Why would you expect to be able to set a mountpoint for a device that contains no mountable filesystem?

Even if I check reformat as This is working as designed. > ext4, Update Settings so the mountpoint is added, I then still can't change > Device Type as it's grayed out. It's an existing device. How do you expect us to change its type?
Discussed in 2014-09-24 Blocker Review meeting [1]. Rejected as a blocker, because this seems to be an oversight from the reported - the filesystem drop down menu needs to be switched to a mountable filesystem first, and only then the mount point is active. Improving the UI could of course help, but it's not a blocker. Please re-propose if there's more to this bug than it seemed. [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2014-09-24/
