I partitioned the disk using storage editor. Created 4 partitions sda1 EFI sda2 ext4 /boot sda3 ext4 / sda4 /home Ok. Installation successful. Reboot. GNOME initial setup. Then, just to test the installation preserving the home, I booted again the live iso, but when Anaconda starts, the option "Reinstall Fedora" (preserving home) doesn't appear. The same behavior happens if the disk was partitioned with LVM. So far, "Reinstall Fedeora" appeared only when I performed the installation using the entire disk and without using the storage editor. Reproducible: Always

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle. Changing version to 42.

This is expected for Fedora 42. At this point, when introducing the Reinstall feature, we want to stay on the safer side and focus on default autopartitioning use case - which is using btrfs filesystem storage layout. If/when we allow to select (or at least support) automatic partitioning schemes other than btrfs (plain partitions, lvm, basically what is supported by --type option of autopart kickstart command: https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#id83) it should be possible also to Reinstall such layouts. The backend is already prepared for it, we would mostly need to work on detection of autopartitioning schemes usable for the existing layout and their proper support. We could also consider to allow Reinstall of automatic partitioning schemes created by kickstart installations or Gtk UI.
