I tried with F17 and it also could not handle the scenario, but the result was better. Unlike F18, i was able to install at least by 'use all space' and choosing vdb device. I did not experiment with other install methods with F17 yet. So this was not a regression, the problem was present in previous releases. The proper workaround for F17 is to select 'use all space' and let the option to review the proposed partitions. With that you can delete and create whatever you want. (the bad entry still exists, but you operate on the other entries, and you will have a separate 'free' entry to work). In F18 this is not possible. This will be fixed in anaconda-18.28-1. You will be able to clear the disk in reclaim (which will create a new disklabel on it) or edit it in custom partitioning. If you select it in custom and hit the '-' button the disk will get a new disklabel. You can alternatively set a mountpoint for the existing filesystem or reformat it with another filesystem. Let me know how it goes. anaconda-18.28-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-17823/anaconda-18.28-1.fc18 Package anaconda-18.28-1.fc18: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 18 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing anaconda-18.28-1.fc18' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-17823/anaconda-18.28-1.fc18 then log in and leave karma (feedback). This bug looks to have been fixed since 18.28 but missed being closed. If you find you are still experiencing it with Fedora 18 Beta (RC1) or later, please re-open the bug. |
