Another user experienced a similar problem:
1. Start the installed from the F21 Alpha Workstation Live media
2. Select the disks - there's an existing F21 on the system I want to over-write.
3. Partition manually. Try to reformat the swap partition. That forces an error.

Another user experienced a similar problem:
At partitioning stage... installer crashed if you check reformat for existing partitions ...maybe that's for the swap partition only.

'swapon -s' said it *was* in use. So I did a 'swapoff -a' and restarted the installer. It crashed again, and it turned out that for some reason the swap partition got remounted. Also, if I *don't* define a swap partition during the install, there's no swap partition in /etc/fstab after the install! And 'swapon -s' shows no swap partition. I have to add it manually! Another user experienced a similar problem:
I am installing FC 21 fresh. I have partitions divided as: /, /boot, swap, /home
I was setting mount points nad hitting reformat for each. All were done except for swap. When I hit apply settings to reformat swap, the bug occured. This is my first time installing FC 21 and first time seeing the crash.

This doesn't appear to be an issue on the Net Install CD - I can reformat swap and get it into the installed system's /etc/fstab if I install that way. So something on the Live Workstation seems to be continuously checking for a swap partition and mounting it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1114786 *** |
Description of problem: Was on the partitioning stage. It crashed when I clicked on "reformat" for my already existing swap partition.
