We (Red Hat) should try to fix this before next release. This is the behavior which has been present since at least 6.1. The autopartitioning algorithm will be revisited for the next release. For now you can choose to review the autopartitioning results and then restrict the partitions to the drive you want. Alternately you can tell autopartitioning to only use one drive. Deferring to future release. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010803 Description of problem: When choosing automatic partitioning during installation on a system with 2 disks, /boot ans swap are put onto the first disk, leaving most of it free. / occupies all of the second disk. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have 2 discs in the machine 2. Select automatic partitioning during install Actual Results: most of disc 1 is left unassigned Expected Results: usage of all available disc space. maybe use it for /home? or not use disc 2 at all so that the user can do with it what she/he wants.
