Description of problem: When trying to modify new ext4 partition to a swap partition, outcome is not in accordance with expected result. See steps to reproduce and attached screenshots. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-18-Beta-TC4 anaconda 18.16 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start graphical installation and proceed to manual partitioning 2. create swap partition (Mount point: swap, Desired Capacity: 200) 3. create /usr (Mount point: /usr, Desired Capacity: 400) 4. change your mind and use following steps to modify /usr to be a swap partition: 5. select /usr partition and modify mount point from "/usr" to "swap" and hit "Apply Changes" button. 6. Notice how anaconda marks this partition (ext4/swap, see screenshot 1) 7. move on, select "Customize...", change "File System" from "ext4" to "swap" and hit "Apply Changes" button. 8. Compare both swap partitions, anaconda should present them identically, but it doesn't happen (notice swap/swap vs. Swap, "Usr" label and missing purpose of swap partition, see screenshots 2 and 3) 9. change your mind again and modify file system back to ext4 10. see that now you have 3 partitions (screenshot 4)

I'm going to make setting a mountpoint that is not an actual mountpoint an error outside of the "Add mountpoint" dialog. That's what fs type combo is for.

Created attachment 631983 [details] swap vs. Swap Retested with anaconda-18.19-1.fc18. Most of reported issues are fixed, but one of them is still present - Swap vs. swap 1. Cretate following mount points: swap 200 MB /usr 400 MB /home 600 MB 2. Change file system on /usr (400 MB) to swap and compare both swaps: modified swap is labelled "swap", the other one is called "Swap". See attached screenshot. 3. Delete /home (600 MB) - now both swaps are labelled "Swap" Could you also fix this swap/Swap issue?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
