Note Igor had some issues with this, as anaconda (and lsblk) seem to
see his macOS partitions as just a blob with the label 'cs_fvault2',
which to me indicates they're under Apple's "FileVault" encryption
thingy. The test case doesn't account for this at all.
Igor verified in macOS that filevault is set to 'disabled', but Neal or
Chris (I forget which) pointed out the filesystems might still be kept
in a sort of inactive filevault volume to allow for encryption to be
enabled again if desired.
>From googling around it looks like we *could* potentially support
accessing and even maybe installing into a filevault setup, since
cryptsetup supports it since 2022, but anaconda/blivet maybe just don't
have support for this wired up the way they do for LUKS.
I'm not sure what we ought to do about this? Only support macOS dual
boot on systems on which filevault is completely and utterly inactive,
and document that in the test case? Lobby anaconda devs to use their
copious spare time to support filevault (hah)? Give up on macOS dual
boot as a supported/blocking case?
I am not sure if filevault can be completely and utterly inactive with more recent versions of MacOS. I would give up on macOS dual boot as a blocking case. The intel hardware which it is on will be considered 'unsupported' by Apple soon (now depending on the system) and would probably be better as a single boot system for one or the other due to unfixable bugs on either side.
CCing devel@ as there may be more folks there with knowledge about
this.
