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:
Warning dialog is not shown when user uses raw partition for / mount point and doesn't create new file system on it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-13.21.187-1.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install system where /boot, / and swap are raw partitions
2. start new installation in graphical mode
3. when asked, select "Fresh Installation"
4. proceed to custom partitioning
5. reuse partition for /boot from previous install, create new file system (check "Format as:")
6. reuse partition for / from previous install, make sure that "Format as:" is unchecked and click "OK"
  
Actual results:
There is no warning that formatting has not been selected for / partition

Expected results:
User is warned when reusing / from previous installation and formatting of the partition has not been selected.

Additional info:
I'm only able to reproduce then reusing raw partition for /. When reusing / on LVM, anaconda correctly shows warning dialog.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.  Product
Management has requested further review of this request by
Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux release for currently deployed products.
This request is not yet committed for inclusion in a release.

I followed the steps to reproduce, but this isn't happening when I test with the latest 6.5 nightly. I see the warning message as I would expect to.

Thanks for re-opening, Jan; I was able to reproduce this after my initial comment. Patch posted for review.
