Description Adam Williamson 2013-12-13 07:53:53 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1040445 +++

Description of problem:
This is a fork of bug 1027947. Several bugs have been identified in it, this is one of them.

It's not possible to select an LV partition, mark it for reformat (and mount) and then change its size. The size is fixed and can't be adjusted.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 20.25.14

How reproducible:
seems always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a default LVM installation with / (or swap) smaller a bit, so that there is some free space
2. boot into installer again, go to custom partitioning
3. select an existing LV partition (e.g. /) and mark it for reformat and add a mount point
4. now try to change the size of that partition up or down. Can't be done.

Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2013-12-13 07:56:55 UTC

This is more or less the same in RHEL 7 public beta, except that once you set a mount point and check 'Reformat', the 'Desired Capacity' box is greyed out - in F20, it's not greyed out, but changes to it don't take effect.

RHEL 7 behaviour is kinda better, really, because at least it's not confusing, but it seems like there's no actual reason why resize should be disabled once a mount point and 'reformat' are set, so it still seems worth filing. But setting severity to 'low'.

Please include anaconda version numbers so I don't have to go looking around in the compose trees to figure out the anaconda version.

Comment 5 David Lehman 2014-02-06 13:16:51 UTC

Is this a duplicate of bug 1029633?

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2014-02-06 18:44:50 UTC

From the description I'd guess it likely is, but that bug says "Please see the video." but I don't see an attached video. It sounds very similar from the description, though.

Comment 7 David Lehman 2014-02-17 15:37:16 UTC

Can you try it again with RHEL-7.0-20140210.0 or later and see if it's fixed?

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2014-02-19 18:53:04 UTC

I'll do my best.

Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2014-03-04 23:04:36 UTC

Looks good with 0226. Actually it's OK with 0127 too (but it's definitely still broken with the public beta, I went back and checked that just to make sure I hadn't simply forgotten how to reproduce it or something).
