I first bootup in rescue mode and delete the old root subvolume and then reboot to do the install. I probably need to figure out out a pre-install script which will do that. No need to delete the previous subvolume unless you want to delete the installation contained on it. > > Is this worth an RFE? I am thinking of an RFE for kickstart. I assume (I have not tried it) that I can reuse an subvolume by first deleting and "reclaiming" the space from a regular install. Reuse is inconsistent with delete, but yes you can't reuse an existing subvolume for rootfs for a new install.
