Description Lukas Ruzicka 2023-08-24 12:59:54 UTC 
When trying to create a custom partition layout using the link to Blivet-GUI, I click on the Confirm button in Blivet and the operation is correctly performed, however no information is passed onto Anaconda about the new state of partitions and when I click on Next in WebUI and I want to start assigning the mount points, I am presented with the old partition layout Anaconda had discovered in the beginning. I cannot proceed until I click on "Search again" again. 

This is not very convenient, because I expect that the new layout will be presented both to Anaconda WebUI and me, or that I will be told about the necessity of re-searching.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on Modify Storage.
2. Use Blivet-GUI to create some useful layout.
3. Click Confirm and close Blivet-GUI.
4. Return to WebUI and click Mount point assignment and Next.
5. Bump - you will just see the old layout options.

Workaround - Click "Search again" and then proceed as described in step 5 -> all is well in the Wonderland.
Actual Results:  
Blivet-GUI does not trigger update of the layout for Anaconda.

Expected Results:  
When blivet-gui is used and the new layout is confirmed and created it should update itself in the background, so that new partitions are immediately usable.
Comment 1 Jiri Konecny 2023-08-25 11:10:11 UTC 
Yes, we are not able to get information that the partitioning has changed right now. For that reason we will add a dialog before running blivet with instructions how this works. I think this bug should be fix by that change.

Comment 3 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2023-09-01 09:33:59 UTC 
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 39-beta by Fedora user lnie using the blocker tracking app because:

 Propose this as a FE,as it's quite annoying and bring poor user experience,besides,it seems have lots of side effects:
#2236356,#2236409,etc
Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2023-09-04 15:43:12 UTC 
hey, I've got a great idea - instead of launching a separate application, we could...somehow *embed* that "advanced custom" partitioning application into the installer flow? that way, the installer would know when it had finished!

(please read this comment with your sarcasm detector running :>)

+4 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1247 , marking accepted FE.

So now there's a dialog shown telling you to rescan storage. That's probably OK. Setting VERIFIED.
