My patch actually handles all shared partitions the same way. The second demo video is not using an ESP, if you look carefully. The logic is that the 'delete all' button only deletes volumes that *only* appear in the bucket it's being used on, and additionally does not delete boot partitions if there are *any* 'unknown' partitions. (The text label was updated to reflect this). So if you have a volume shared between three Linux installs A, B and C, after clicking the 'delete all' button for A, it'll still be present in B and C; after clicking the 'delete all' button for B it'll still be present in C; after clicking the 'delete all' button for C it goes away. You can always delete a shared partition by targeting it *specifically*, though. It might be good to have a warning for that case. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
