*** Bug 583283 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Proposing this as F13Blocker as Fedora users / F-13 testers are unable to install F13 because of this, see bug 583283. Note we already have a fix available (just need to move the new parted from updates-testing to F-13). parted-2.1-6.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/parted-2.1-6.fc13 Discussed at today's blocker meeting. Hans, what's the actual scenario where you'd hit this bug - what kind of hardware / partition layout do you need to run into it? We can't tell if this should be a blocker, or test the fix, without that info. Thanks! -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers The scenario here is a bit hard to trigger, what should work to reliable trigger it is, do an install with custom partitioning creating multiple LV's and leaving disk space for another install. After the install see which LV got which /dev/dm-# coupled to it, Do another install using custom partitioning, And remove an lv which uses a /dev/dm-# other then /dev/dm-0, other then that it should not remove any existing partitions / LV's. Then proceed to write changes, and things should go boom. Note that: 1) The fix for this is pretty straight forward and low risk 2) The fix for this is already upstream 3) The fix for this is already in RHEL-6, and has not caused any problems during RHEL-6 testing sofar 4) The fix for this is included into the (newer) parted fedora-13 package, which is needed to fix 534066, which has been granted F13 Blocker status. Thanks for the info. Just in case, if you're thinking the bug needs to be declared a blocker for us to accept the fix, that's not the case: we're not yet at the stage where only blocker-fixing changes are accepted. It's a tricky one to decide if it's a blocker or not, but I'm sure we'll be taking the package that fixes it anyway. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This is marked as fixed in 2.1-6.fc13, and 2.1-7.fc13 was pushed to stable recently, so I'm closing it. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers |
