What's actually trying to be solved by adding this?
ignore swap.
Ignore it how? Just don't use it during install? Don't add it to the
fstab? What's the use case.
Ignoring on install time. It becomes relative when the installer sees
swap partitions that are being used. Might have a disk thats only
swap partitions for virtual hosts. If you include that disk in an
installation, anaconda will use all the swaps. see 70477.
So you're installing to a real disk on a guest system?
Well its not me, but I'm pretty sure its possible.
I'm not sure I want Anaconda poking around in there.
yep, its not a good idea.
Any thoughts anyone to installing into a partition (say /dev/sdb2) and
letting the guest use it as a whole disk.
The bug specifically talks about using it as a swap disk. Which is not completely inconceivable to me.
You'd have an mbr in /dev/sdb2 which, one hopes, nobody will try to boot
in the wrong context.
If you have a disk, yes. but if you have swap files, this would not be a problem.
