What do you think?

I would make the mount point an input/select with common mount points to
select among, with mount points already assigned to other volumes disabled.

We already have this in the 'create new mount point' dialog box, it also has auto-complete. I am not sure why it would be needed if you're changing a pre-existing mount-point.

I'd also very much like to see less space devoted to whitespace, much
more to content, i.e. text sizes optimized for users rather than
designers. 12px may be fine for those with lower resolution screens, but
not for everybody who uses higher density screens, among which many
acquired them thinking to make things bigger rather than having more
things on screen at once.

That is a gtk / gtk theme issue and not a base design issue. That being said, whitespace is important to establish relationships between elements and make a lot of information easier to understand / digest.

When I have to install using Anaconda, I'm in the habit of switching
into temporary use of a little old 1024x768 LCD to get installation
started in that mode, after which I switch to a usual display that can
make everything big enough to not be uncomfortable or even illegible, as
is "1 storage device selected" at the bottom of both original and mockup.

Please create a new thread to discuss that; it's a separate issue.
