Description Kamil Páral 2012-12-06 11:51:39 UTC

Description of problem:
In the manual partitioning screen, the "Click here to create them automatically" button creates /boot as a standard partition and all other partitions as LVM. That's good. But if I add partition manually and fill in /boot as a mount point, it creates a LVM partition by default. And that is not good. It is not recommended for /boot to be on LVM, there are many problems with GRUB in that case.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 18.36

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter manual partitioning
2. click + to add a new partition, mark it as /boot

  
Actual results:
/boot is created as LVM

Expected results:
/boot is created as a standard partition

I've been meaning to do this for btrfs, so I'll do it for lvm while I'm at it. It will be good in that it will increase consistency between automatic and manual partitioning results.
