patch for master is awaiting review: https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2011-May/msg00243.html Fixed on master: 3c53d72b4a8924a52d8657ca3c3aa18528d55d2f Fixed by 15f1c2dfc663ce664015610517b7dd973bb2a262. Created attachment 517418 [details]
screenshot raid dialog
I don't think this is fully fixed. As you can see on the attached screenshot the number of spares field is editable but it allows me to select more spares than I have raid partitions.
In this case I have selected 2 raid members and 3 spares which is invalid. Anaconda lets me save this config and after writing changes to disk it dies with
ERROR: mdadm: invalid number of raid devices
Moved back to ASSIGNED. Tested with anaconda-13.21.126. (In reply to comment #5) > Created attachment 517418 [details] > screenshot raid dialog > > I don't think this is fully fixed.

It is also a different problem because the underlying library simply doesn't tell us the correct upper limit on the number of spares depending on the number of raid devices used. Please open a different bug for that, CC me and we can target it for 6.3. Moving to VERIFIED and cloning for the other issue. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Created attachment 495774 [details] "Numer of spares" is disabled Description of problem: When trying to create a RAID device with some spare members, anaconda doesn't allow to change the "Number of spares" field. (see attached screenshot). To be able to change the number of spares, user has to change the "RAID Level" field first (RAID1 to RAID5 and then back to RAID1). After this step, user is able to modify the spares field. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL6.1-20110427.0 anaconda-13.21.115-1.el6 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run installation in graphical mode 2. select Custom partitioning 3. create some RAID partitions (for example 5) 4. Try to create new RAID1 device using all the RAID partitions, change number of spares Actual results: Cannot modify number of spares Expected results: Number of spares is editable
