Description Bill Nottingham 2008-11-06 23:09:40 UTC 
Description of problem:

When doing a luks upgrade, anaconda rewrites fstab and crypttab. (Since it's using a different device naming paradigm than F9, this is probably a good idea.)

However, in doing so, it removes entries that it's not using in the upgrade.

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

rawhide-20081104

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F9 using luks
2. Upgrade!

upgraded fstab

It only deleted the NFS entry because it's marked as noauto.  Now to figure out why exactly we were doing that...
Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2008-11-12 15:08:32 UTC 
Well it's not at all easy to preserve those entries with the existing partitioning code, however we can at least make a backup of the fstab so you can restore them yourself later.  Committed a patch to do just that.

Is this fixed in a tagged anaconda?
Comment 6 Jeremy Katz 2008-11-14 22:50:17 UTC 
Yes -- 11.4.1.58-1 and later
Comment 7 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-11-14 22:59:05 UTC 
We should be able to close this out then.
