Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Fedora_42_Beta_Release_Criteria#custom-partitioning release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion. If so, please file a bug and nominate it as blocking the appropriate milestone, using the blocker bug nomination page.

Description

A complete installation using the Btrfs filesystem for system partitions, using the Cockpit storage UI from the webui-based installer.

Prepare a test system with a working, supported storage device of sufficient size for a Fedora install, and a Fedora installation medium that uses the webui-based installer. Currently, that means using the Workstation live image.

Boot the webui-based installer using any available means. Currently, that means using the Workstation live image and selecting "Install to Disk..." at the end of the initial setup process.
On the wizard header find the dropdown menu and click "Launch storage editor".
In the Storage editor modal dialog, delete all existing partitions (if any).
Create any necessary bootloader partitions (e.g. EFI System Partition for UEFI installs, BIOS Boot partition for BIOS installs onto a GPT disk, PReP boot partition for PowerPC installs). The screen should indicate what partitions are required and/or recommended on the right-hand side.
Create a partition, name it 'boot', set its Type to EXT4 or XFS, and make it 500 MB in size.
Create a partition, name it 'root', set its Type to BTRFS, and make it a sufficient size for the system you are installing (at least 15 GB is a good guide).
Optionally, also create a partition, name it 'home', set its Type to BTRFS, and make it a sensible size for a /home partition.
Click "Return to installation".
Select "Mount point assignment" and click "Next".
Assign all mount points appropriately - any required bootloader partitions that need mounting (e.g. /boot/efi) as appropriate, the "boot" partition to /boot, the "root" partition to /, and - if you created one - the "home" partition to /home.
Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options.
Boot the installed system.

The expected partition layout should be created on the target device(s).
The install process should complete successfully and the installed system should boot as expected.
