What are the expected partitioning states for F18? Including Apple
hardware, I'm imagining roughly seven possible states (MBR vs GPT,
btrfs vs LVM), none of which are what Alpha TC3 produces. What I get
is no LVM usage, an extended partition just for /home, and ext4. Is
this transitional behavior?



The current default in the gui is to not use LVM, and to default to ext4. btrfs is not yet ready to be the default, and LVM is too complex of a setup for a large portion of our users.

The default autopartitioning scheme can include a broken out /home/ directory if there is sufficient disk space available, and a broken out /boot and swap.

It would be a good idea to review the autopart expectations in the QA tests and update them for code reality.
