#10 Disk management tools should prevent destroying recovery volumes
Opened a year ago by dcavalca. Modified a year ago

Apple Silicon systems rely on recovery volumes to be able to boot. If these are destroyed the machine is effectively bricked, and restoring it requires a second system (e.g. another Mac with Configurator). See https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Introduction-to-Apple-Silicon for details.

GNOME Disks, KDE Partition Manager, Blivet and Anaconda all need to be taught to flag these volumes appropriately and not let the user mess with them unless they pass a warning screen.

Are there tickets for all of the other projects?

Not yet, mostly because we hadn't scoped the specifics of this yet. We'll get them filed, thanks for the reminder.
