By "it does exactly the opposite", do you mean we will create a new PReP
partition every time you choose to create new partitioning in the empty
space? I'm worried about a condition to where we end up with a whole
pile of those partition types if you keep doing installs.
Yes, each time someone uses the empty space on a disk to add a new
system we have to preserve all the existing PRePs to make sure all the
previously installed systems are still bootable. On the other hand if we
don't create a new PReP partition, the new system won't be bootable
(that's what this BZ is talking about). The way I understand it is you
need one PReP partition per each system you want to boot.
