I have Yosemite installed on a small partition on my Snow Leopard MBP, and it does not show up in the Sidebar in Finder. When I open up Disk Utility, it displays grayed out as "Incompatible Format". I'm not having any problem booting into it, but I'm curious why this is. I only had Mavericks on it briefly, but I don't recall this happening.

Yosemite is a core storage volume, SL likely has no idea what that is.
