Description Radek Vykydal 2018-10-15 11:08:57 UTC
Port of latest nvdimm support updates from rhel branch:

- allow bootloader on NVDIMM
- nvdimm commands for UI actions in generated kickstart

Comment 2 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2018-10-15 12:34:02 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 29-final by Fedora user m4rtink using the blocker tracking app because:

 Anaconda recently gained support for using the new cutting edge NVDIMM storage technology and this is a batch of fixes related to it:

- allow bootloader on NVDIMM
- nvdimm commands for UI actions in generated kickstart

The NVDIMM support is fairly separate and isolated, so changes should not influence other storage/bootloader related code. Then fixes have also already been in use on one of the RHEL branches without any known issues.

Comment 3 Geoffrey Marr 2018-10-15 19:20:35 UTC
Discussed during the 2018-10-15 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedFreezeException" was made as hardware enablement in the installer is always desirable, and cannot be fixed with an update. As this is said to be fairly isolated from other storage code, the risk should be low.
