There's a proposed anaconda patch ATM which would disallow mounting an existing partition as /boot or /var (or any subdirectory of those except /var/www ) without reformatting it. i.e., you can't reuse an existing partition with those mountpoints.
Well, somebody with a carefully crafted configuration in /var/named/, for example, presumably will be not very happy. I wonder why /var/www/ is singled out for a special treatment?
The main driving force for this is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1074358
And /var comes into this picture how? Just curious.
And why the subdirectories in /var cannot be mountpoints for existing partitions ? There are a way lot of subdirectories, where partitions with existing data would have to be mounted, like www, ftp, tftp, named, spool/mail ....
