Description Jan Stodola 2022-11-01 18:21:46 UTC

Description of problem:
Kickstart installation fails with the following error:

==========
Failed to save storage configuration
The following problem occurred on line 9 of the kickstart file:

device is too small for new format
==========


The partitioning defined in the kickstart file:

bootloader --location=mbr
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
part swap --recommended
part / --grow
reqpart --add-boot
part raid.01 --size=100
part raid.02 --size=100
raid /raid --level=0 --device=raid-test raid.01 raid.02

The same kickstart works fine on RHEL-8.7.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.8.0-20221101.d.1
anaconda-33.16.8.1-1.el8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a kickstart installation with the partitioning commands above.

Actual results:
Error: device is too small for new format

Expected results:
A successful installation.

Comment 4 Vojtech Trefny 2022-11-02 11:53:29 UTC

We've increased the min size for XFS in blivet 3.6[1] to 300 MiB to match the new filesystem size limits implemented in xfsprogs 5.19. RHEL is still on xfsprogs 5.0 so this limit doesn't apply here so I will revert this change.
