[rhelv6-beta-list] EFI fstab error during upgrade to snapshot 7

[Cia Watson]

There's a possibility that it relates to the bug that I had, which had a 
subsequent issue where one of my partitions listed on my beta1 fstab was 
different than the filesystem format for that partition, when I did the 
install / upgrade. I wasn't booting to or using my beta1 install so I 
neglected to update the fstab file. It wasn't even the install 
partition, but another one I had been using as a shared data partition.

It was an ext3 partition in the fstab, and I subsequently changed it to 
a zfs partition after I moved the shared data (ext3) partition to a 
different location. After I fixed that issue, the install finished 
mostly ok. There are package duplicates, but that's another issue. So, 
perhaps in your case it might be looking at any/all formats shown in 
your fstab and not just the /boot partition?
