| Fixed In Version: | anaconda-13.21.51-1 | Doc Type: | Bug Fix | ||||
| Doc Text: |
The installer will backtrace (crash) when it encounters a physical volume which contains freespace (space not used by a logical volume) at the beginning of the physicial volume. To work around this create a logical volume using this space before starting the installation.

We probably shouldn't be including "LVM2_LV_NAME=" in the name of the logical volume we're trying to activate. We've a patch fixing this granting devel ack. We should really fix this for 6.0, this will happen whenever there is a pre-existing VG which has some freespace at the beginning of one of its pvs. Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.

To work around this create a logical volume using this space before starting the installation. This is fixed in anaconda-13.21.51-1, moving to modified. Verified on build RHEL6.0-20100701.0 with anaconda-13.21.56-1.el6.
