Description Gary Case 2009-08-13 19:08:31 UTC

Description of problem:
In the drive partitioning section of the installer, you can easily create multiple partitions on multiple drives. If you made a mistake on a partition mount point, for example, and you click on it to change the name, if you don't also re-select the drive where it should live (in the allowable drives section) the partition will move to /dev/sda.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6 alpha

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a partition on /dev/sdb during install
2. Double-click on partition/Edit it
3. Change the mount point of the partition
4. If you don't select the proper "Allowable Drive", it will default to /dev/sda
  
Actual results:
Moved partition

Expected results:
The edit partition box should maintain the drive selection once it's been made.

I probably shouldn't close RHEL bugs as duplicates of Fedora bugs.

Comment 6 David Lehman 2010-01-07 01:59:10 UTC

This should be fixed in anaconda-13.8-1, which should be in the RHEL6 trees in the near future.

Comment 9 Jan Stodola 2010-05-15 14:47:38 UTC

Verified on build RHEL6.0-20100512.0 with anaconda-13.21.39-1.el6. Tested in kvm with two disks, when editing partition, only one allowable drive is selected.

Moving to VERIFIED.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
