Description of problem: A duplicate UI widget is created when you add a mount point to a partition that does not have one in a custom partitioning scheme. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F18 Beta How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: -I checked "I don't need help; let me customize disk partitioning." -Clicked on "Reclaim space" button. -Clicked on plus button on existing F18 installation. -Clicked on the "Boot" 500MB partition. -Clicked on "Customize..." -Clicked on "Reformat" -Clicked on "Apply Changes" -Click on plus button on new F18 installation. -Click on "ext4 500MB" partition. -Type in "/boot" into Mount Point. -Click "Apply Changes" At this point a "Boot 500MB" partition is added, but the old "ext4 500MB" partition line is still displayed. If you navigate back to the old F18 installation area, and then back to the new F18 install partitions the "ext4 500MB" partition disappears. Actual results: Two UI items for one partition. Expected results: One UI item.

From Manual Partitioning, auto-create mount points. Complete minimal install. Reboot into installer. Proceed to Manual Partitioning. Select Boot. Check Reformat. Click Apply Changes. Under the New ... Installation expander, click ext4. Enter /boot for the mount point. Click Apply Changes. A duplicate 500 MB entry is displayed. Tested with: $ qemu-img create f18-test-2.img 12G $ qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda f18-test-2.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F18/F18-Beta/Final/Fedora-18-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso -usb -vga qxl -boot menu=on -usbdevice mouse

(In reply to comment #1) > I always thought that was a feature ... :-) That depends. If you don't mark the existing device to be reformatted, it will stay in both the old installation and the new one since it could still possibly be used by both. If you do mark it for reformat it should no longer remain in the old installation since reformatting it presumably makes it no longer viable as part of an older installation. The main bug here is actually allowing you to mark existing devices for reformat without also making sure you have set a valid mountpoint.
OK. If I check Reformat and enter "/" before clicking Apply Changes, no duplicate is listed under New ... Installation. It might be a minor convenience to auto-fill the mount point and label with the existing ones, if they are set ...
