That exists in 7.2 as well. (You get that dialog if you are formatting or
not formatting.) Scared the crap out of me when I first got the message.
I had about 20 gigs of unbacked up files on the primary drive.
I would also like to see added code where the upgrade would check for an
existing set of RPM databases and do a "rpm --rebuilddb" before starting
to add files. This will help clean up accumulated cruft in the databases.
