Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Any Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Minor release. How reproducible: -->> Boot with ISO of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, -->> Manual Partitioning -->> Create a swap with more that 128 GB -->> The size will be loaded as default to 128 Gb Steps to Reproduce: 1. Using graphical install with declaring a swap more than 128 Gb 2. Kickstart below will reproduce the issue, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ install text keyboard --vckeymap=se --xlayouts='se' rootpw --plaintext anaconda lang en_US.UTF-8 timezone --utc Europe/Stockholm # Network information # System bootloader configuration bootloader --location=mbr --append="rhgb quiet crashkernel=auto" clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --asprimary --size=1024 part / --asprimary --size=20000 part /var --asprimary --size=15000 part /home --size=20000 part /opt --size=5168 part swap --size=150000 # Accept Eula eula --agreed %packages @base %end ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Actual results: The installer will take default value of 128Gb for swap with below message, 12:40:25,094 DEBUG anaconda: new disk order: [] 12:40:25,736 ERR anaconda: storage configuration failed: partition is too large for swap formatting (allowable size is 0 B to 128 GiB) 12:40:26,703 INFO anaconda: fs space: 0 B needed: 2861.02 MiB Expected results: It should allow creating a swap of the desired size for the installation if we provide a swap size.
