You're referring to editting a logical volume? Could you give an exact sequence to generate this popup? Its not ringing a bell. You can edit logical volumes and volume groups after they have been created so I'm not sure what the issue is. No, apparently I cannot without redoing the whole installation from scratch because on a "Disk Setup" screen attempts to edit one of constituent partitions lead to "Unable To Edit" alert (where a hint to try to edit a logical volume instead is missing - as noted in the original report) and if you try to edit a logical volume instead then what can be done seems to be now very limited in scope. In any case attempts to take out physical partitions out of logical volume are completely and silently ignored (which looks like the next bug). Try something like that - take one or more of unused partitions and make them into a logical volume - tell in a dialog that it will be mounted on /udr, say - click OK - say "oops" - and try to do what somebody using Red Hat distributions from some time, but not too familiar with LVM, would naturally have done to make this mountable on /usr instead - you will get "Unable To Edit" alert without any indications what else you should have done If I understand correctly, you are saying if you create partitions of type 'physical volume (LVM)', then put it in a Volume Group using the 'LVM' button, and then add a logical volume to the volume group, if you then go and try to modify the physical volume that started all this you are not allowed to. This is true for this release - we are going to work on this screen more in future release. At the moment bad things can happen if you make radical changes to a physical volume that is part of a volume group (like the volume group is all of a sudden too small to hold all the logical volumes in it), and will require alot more sanity checking when changes are made. Marking this as DEFERRED. |
