Description Vratislav Podzimek 2015-09-09 10:35:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
Tried to remove a preexisting LVM on RAID storage setup to reclaim space. There are more storage setups that would trigger this (e.g. LVM thin provisioning with multiple thin LVs)

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-24.0-1

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:

Comment 13 Vratislav Podzimek 2015-09-09 10:43:08 UTC 
Reported from Rawhide installation, but this also happens in F23. Also, it is a blivet issue not in anaconda.
Comment 14 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2015-09-09 10:50:59 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 23-beta by Fedora user vpodzime using the blocker tracking app because:

 This clearly violates the last point of the following criteria:
============
When using the guided partitioning flow, the installer must be able to:

    Cleanly install to a disk with a valid ms-dos or gpt disk label and partition table which contains existing data and sufficient unpartitioned space for a Fedora installation
    Complete an installation using any combination of disk configuration options it allows the user to select
    Remove existing storage volumes to free up space, at the user's direction 
============
