Discussed at 2012-08-27 QA meeting, functioning as an NTH review meeting. We agreed to delay the decision on this one as we're not clear exactly what the trigger is, and how often this issue is going to occur. Is this what the patch https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/anaconda-patches/2012-August/000804.html is intended to fix? What exactly triggers this bug? We don't believe it _always_ happens, I'm fairly sure some people reported they were able to complete TC3 installation without any crash.

Patch for this issue is here: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/anaconda-patches/2012-August/000834.html And as the commit message explains: > Use shutil.move for replacing old config with the new one > > os.rename fails if source and destination are on different fileystems, > shutil.move should copy and remove the source in such cases. I'm not sure if it happens always and also Python's os module's documentation says: > The operation may fail on some Unix flavors if src and dst are on different > filesystems. But I'm afraid it happens at least very often. Discussed at 2012-08-29 NTH review meeting. Accepted as NTH with vpodzime's evaluation that it will likely happen often. anaconda-18.6.5-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-18.6.5-1.fc18 This issue was verified in latest RHEL compose. Verified also on Fedora TC5. anaconda-18.6.5-1.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
