Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): util-linux-2.23.2-26.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a ppc64 or ppc64le system. 2. Selected automatic partitioning. 3. Actual results: blkid doesn't give us any indication that sda1 is a PRePboot partition. Expected results: The opposite. Additional info: I'm working on a test which uses blkid output and this is a corner case which isn't covered. blkid is very handy in bash scripts and we need it to somehow identify PRePboot partitions.
