I am not the only one cf this https://files.catbox.moe/vvjv37.jpg https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1oi8l6b/anaconda_format_as_efi/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.choose share disk with another operating system 2. final screen display "Format as EFI" 3. Actual Results: The Efi partition wont be formatted btu still the label is confusing: I lost hours because of this label because I wanted to encrypt and "share disk with another operating system" is the only way to encrypt but I didnt want to format the EFI partition (The other option "mount point partition" where it is possible to specify that EFI won't be formated doesn't make encryption available)

This is also affecting Fedora 44 Beta. I’ll admit my situation is unusual, but I have a second 4TB drive that I use for staying on top of Rawhide, Fedora Betas and any other distos I wish to play with. As you can see in my image, because CachyOS needs such a large EFI, I have a second EFI partition just for Cachy (1n1p6). In the Fedora 44 Beta installer, Fedora-Workstation-Live-44_Beta-1.2.x86_64.iso, I can correctly manually assign root (1n1p8) and the EFI (1n1p1) BUT on the next screen, Fedora warns me that it’s ALSO going to format the CachyOS EFI (1n1p6). There appears to be no way to stop this. I continued with the install and extra partition was NOT formatted, still it's disconcerting. Again, my situation is very niche, but I thought I’d mention it.
