Attached traceback automatically from anaconda.
Looks like there are cases where lv.size and/or vg.size are not integers. Need to convert to a string when passing to Decimal() like so: "%0.4f" % lv.size This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. I have a fix ready for this - https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2010-June/msg00125.html To be clear: I introduced this with my fix for green partition stripes for bug #599614 (In reply to comment #2) > Looks like there are cases where lv.size and/or vg.size are not integers. Need > to convert to a string when passing to Decimal() like so: "%0.4f" % lv.size Hi Brian, how can I end up in a situation where those sizes are floats and not integers? IIRC this was triggered by pre-existing partitions that would trigger bug 599614. In bug 608172 I've tested haveing 3 partitions, /boot, swap and / and on the second install I've chosen to shrink the current system and created default LVM layout. There was no traceback. Given that bug 599614 is VERIFIED and the patch from comment #5 is already included I'm moving it to VERIFIED. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 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. |
