From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79C-CCK-MCD [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.9 sun4u) Description of problem: When using autopartition, depending upon the geometry of the disk, partitions may be allocated which are not on sector boudnaries. Thus, during installation, if the autopartitioned disk is to be scanned prior to package installation, if the partition is NOT on a sector boundary, badblocks will fail and the installation process will stop See attachment for more (lots more) details Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.select autopartition and scan the partitions created 2.select more packages than room on the partition 3.after the 1st badblocks scan, anaconda will notice that there isn't enough room. Remove packages until they all fit on the partition 4.disk will be scanned a 2nd time. If the partition is not on a cylinder boundary, badblocks will fail and the installation will stop Actual Results: badblocks fails and installation stops Expected Results: badblocks success and installation continues Additional info:
