RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
If there are unformatted and LDL DASD disks on the system, anaconda running in graphical mode shows two same dialog windows asking to format unformatted and then LDL DASD disks using dasdfmt. Since the windows are same, it is not clear which dialog asks to format LDL /unformatted disks. Since text mode is going to ask just once (bug 1269955), we should do the same in GUI mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.2 GA

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a system with unformatted and LDL DASD disks
2. run manual graphic installation
3. select all disks and go to the custom partitioning spoke

Actual results:
Two same dialog windows for unformatted and LDL DASD disks

Expected results:
One dialog for all unsupported/unusable DASD disks

There is just one dialog window to dasdfmt all unformatted/LDL DASD disks, tested in both GUI and text mode.

There is an issue with no feedback while formatting DASD disks in GUI mode, which is reported as bug 1335465.

Tested with anaconda-21.48.22.79-1.el7
