Do you know if parted and pyparted also support your device? If not, you're just going to run into more problems later. Yes, parted supports this device. It's how I partitioned it under F13. Sorry, I should have been clearer. This device is a 1.5TB hard disk. It's not exotic or anything. This bug is pretty serious, as it means that anyone with a 1.5TB hard disk cannot use preupgrade (it might also affect other methods of upgrade/installation, but I only preupgrade...). This will be included in the next build of anaconda for rawhide. Thanks for the patch. |
Created attachment 457302 [details] Patch to use a long long int to store storage device size When preupgrading my machine, anaconda requested a "driver disk" for my machine (and wouldn't let me proceed without one). I was confused, as my machine has no weird hardware in it, so I went on a debugging spree. Turns out that it's a bug in the device listing code. It was using a long int to store the size of a device. My hard disk is just over this threshold, so it was b0rking at this. Find a patch attached that fixes this issue.
