Created attachment 843493 [details]
Anaconda still disallows installation after a reformat check+uncheck trick.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 629311 *** |
Created attachment 843492 [details] Anaconda screenshot (KVM reproducer). Description of problem: I have huge RAID5 over all my disks as /. With former Anaconda when yum distro upgrade broke my system I did cd /; mkdir old;mv * old/ and installed new OS there without reformatting the partition. New Anaconda insists on clicking "reformat". Where should I move out 1.5TB of my data? I have off-site backup of important parts of it but that is off-topic here. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-20-x86_64-DVD.iso GA How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install any Fedora (used LUKS on top of mdadm RAID5) with one partition /. (Used also non-LUKS mdadm RAID1 /boot and LUKS mdadm RAID5 swap.) 2. cd /; mkdir old;mv * old/ 3. Try to install new Fedora 20 x86_64 on top of it, preserving old/ there. Actual results: After clicking Mount Point: / Not checked "reformat". Update settings Mount Point entry is cleared and the partition is not added to "New Fedora 20 Installation". The screenshot shows a case where I put "Mount Point: /foo" there first clicking "reformat" and later cleared the checkbox "reformat". Second screenshot shows that Anaconda still does not allow me to install Fedora. Expected results: Normally installed Fedora along the preserved "/old" directory. I was using it regularly till approx. Fedora 15 or which version switched to new Anaconda. Additional info: Please no advices for more partitions (system+data). That has no technical justification (besides workarounding an Anaconda regression).
