{{admon/note|This test case has no step to remove anything, including the previous root subvolume. In step 5, by default Anaconda will create a new subvolume root00 mounted at /. You can choose to delete the root subvolume in the installer or at your leisure. Other than consuming space, there is no conflict with this "extra root".}} | |||
