Samantha, does it mean that anaconda will format all unformatted disks without asking? It looks so from the video and in my opinion this should not happen, anaconda should ask.
All disks, no; just the ones which are selected. Since one could have many disks which are unformatted, and since it is time-consuming to run dasdfmt especially as your number of disks grows, it was decided to not blanket dasdfmt all of them, especially since a user might not wish to use all of them.
I meant a bit different issue - I will describe better:
The main hub says "We won't touch your disks until you click 'Begin Installation'". In the Installation Destination spoke you selected 4 disks and clicked "Done". What happened: anaconda started formatting selected unformatted disks - immediately, without any warning! What I would expect to see is a window saying something like:
--------------------------------------------------------------- There are 2 uninitialized DASD devices selected: /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.3627 /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.3727
To continue installation, the devices must be formatted. Formatting will remove any data on these devices. Format uninitialized DASD devices?
<Cancel> <Format> ----------------------------------------------------------------
Cancel will return to the Initial Destination spoke without formatting, OK (or Format?) button will start the formatting.
