The traceback suggests a possible anaconda bug, particularly since the ext* filesystems are working correctly. Is there any further information in the log files?

Hi everyone, XFS is available in RHEL5 only as an add-on product. The XFS utilities can be installed on a RHEL-5 system, but XFS is not available during installation. The interactive installer does not allow partitions to be created with XFS, but the kickstart install puts more of the verification onus on the kickstart writer, so it doesn't check for whether the filesystem picked is actually supported. Anyway, I guess re-open the bug if this is something that needs to be disabled in beaker. |
Created attachment 789490 [details] sample job xml Description of problem: I have the following partition in my job xml, and all my jobs aborted <partitions> <partition fs="xfs" name="/mnt/testarea" size="10" type="part"/> </partitions> +---------------+ Exception Occurred +---------------+ | | | Traceback (most recent call first): ^ | | File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/subprocess.py", # | | line 996, in _execute_child : | | raise child_exception : | | File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/subprocess.py", : | | line 550, in __init__ : | | errread, errwrite) : | | File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 60, : | | in execWithRedirect : | | stderr=stderr, preexec_fn=chroot, cwd=root) : | | File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line 472, : | | in formatDevice v | | | | +----+ +-------+ | | | OK | | Debug | | | +----+ +-------+ | | | | | +----------------------------------------------------+ If I change fs type to ext* other than xfs, OS can be installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.14.1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add the partitions from description in job xml and submit a job to install RHEL5.10 hosts 2. I upload a sample job xml 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Not sure if it's really a beaker bug, correct me if I was wrong
