Description Ding-Yi Chen 2007-04-30 02:21:36 UTC
Description of problem:
In installation stage, the logical volume sizes show in RHEL 5 and Fedora Test4 
are different.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 5 with LVM logical volumes.
2. When edit logical volumes inside a Volume group, note down the total space 
(ex. Total Space: 152352.00 MB)
3. After RHEL 5 installed, install Fedora Test 4
3. In the partition layout screen, click on one of the logical volume, then 
click edit.
4. Compare the total space from RHEL 5 (shown as Used space here), and total 
space in Fedora-test 4 (ex. 152320.00 MB). The free space is -32.00 MB in this 
example. 
  
Actual results:
In Edit LVM Volume Group: VolGroup00

Used Space: 152352.00 MB (100.0%)
Free Space:  -32.00 MB (-0.0%)
Total Space: 152320.00 MB

Expected results:
Used Space: 152320.00 MB (100.0%)
Free Space:  0.00 MB (0.0%)
Total Space: 152320.00 MB

Went through this briefly last week - not sure if this ls an LVM2 or installer
bug (looked a bit through anaconda code last week and noticed a few fixes that
might be related but wasn't sure).  Anaconda people - does this look like a
possible installer bug?  Leaving as lvm for now.

Those numbers are from anaconda.  Run the F7 lvm2 tools directly and see what
values they give you.

I don't see any obvious incorrect output from the scan
commands or xxdisplay commands on my F7 system. The scan
output is not to verbose so I included it here.

Perhaps it's arch specific or Anaconda.

I used to have this problem in April 2007. However, the problem dispeared in
early May (I forget the exact date). Maybe there are some patch which fix this
problem already?
