Comment 12 Chris Murphy 2013-10-28 02:57:39 UTC
Create new thinp installation over existing. Deleted fedora-home, retained fedora-root, yet the installer creates a new fedora-root (same name as existing) so that may be the problem here.

Comment 13 Chris Murphy 2013-10-28 03:03:26 UTC
Proposing as a beta blocker:
"When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to reject or disallow invalid disk and volume configurations without crashing."

I'm going under the assumption that what the user did is invalid: retained the default vg/lv name for the new / of "fedora-root" which conflicts with existing. Installer shouldn't crash, but I suspect the work around is to name the root differently.

Proposed as a Blocker for 20-beta by Fedora user chrismurphy using the blocker tracking app because:

 Comment 13 is justification, I just forgot to set the blocker.

Comment 18 Mike Ruckman 2013-10-28 16:47:17 UTC
Discussed in 2013-10-28 Blocker Review meeting [1]. Voted as an AcceptedBlocker. Violates the following F20 beta release criterion: "When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to: Create mount points backed by ext4 partitions, LVM volumes or btrfs volumes ... and remove a planned storage volume from the planned layout." [2]

Comment 19 Chris Murphy 2013-10-28 16:57:43 UTC
Update: When I do this with conventional LVM, the new root default name is root00 so the conflict with existing root doesn't occur. With LVM Thin Provisioning, the default name for root is root, so it conflicts with existing root.

Comment 20 David Lehman 2013-10-28 17:08:56 UTC

> reason:         DeviceCreateError: ('lvcreate failed for fedora/root:
> running lvm lvcreate --thinpool fedora/pool00 --virtualsize 10000m -n root

This is completely unrelated to the original bug in this report. Please open a separate report.

Comment 21 Chris Murphy 2013-10-28 18:27:40 UTC
Opened bug 1024076. The blocker should go with the new bug, not this one?

This bug was accepted as a blocker with the understanding that users would hit this bug if they installed over a previous lvm-using install due to name collisions. Are we correct in our understanding of how this bug would manifest?

Comment 26 Clyde E. Kunkel 2013-11-07 23:42:54 UTC
Trying to install to a new LV using remaining space in VolGroup00.  PV is on a software raid 10.  Took several trips thru the custom partitioner before it saw the VG. All looked ok until setting root password, system froze for some unknown period of time as I had to leave for an appointment and upon return saw this error.

Comment 27 Clyde E. Kunkel 2013-11-08 04:50:28 UTC
Second try experience:  practitioner saw the correct VolGroup first time and was able to do a normal install to the LV.  Dunno.

Comment 28 Chris Murphy 2013-11-08 05:43:59 UTC
For future reference, anytime anaconda crashes you need to retain the /tmp/anaconda-tb file so they can be manually attached. Only for new bugs does libreport upload them. (Maybe it should be an RFE for libreport to always upload just the anaconda-tb for subsequent reports for existing bugs?)

Reproducing bug 1040691. Was using vpodzime's updates.img in first crash and this one. Here are steps to reproduce:
1. Go to installation destination. Select default (LVM, no encryption).
2. Go to custom partitioning. Auto-create partitions
3. Select /, press modify on volume group, check encrypt there.
4. Install

Comment 35 Kamil Páral 2013-12-12 10:41:22 UTC
From what I remember:
1. I did a default install, but removed swap from the layout (therefore there has been some space left on the device, I don't know how much)
2. I started the installer again, and anaconda did not ask me to reclaim any space (as if there is enough already). I went to custom partitioning and found out that aconda created a new 500 MB /boot, 3.9 GB / and 3.9 GB swap. The previous partitions were left intact.
3. I accepted the choices and started the installation.
4. It crashed at the beginning of the installation process.

Was trying to create such layout over 3 disks:

Comment 40 Alexey Torkhov 2013-12-12 14:11:27 UTC
Steps I was doing to get comment 37:

1. Start with 3 empty 8gb disks.
2. Select all 3 disks in installation destination. Start custom partitioning with LVM.
3. Auto-create mount points.
4. Select /, press change for volume group. Select first two disks, change level to RAID-0. Click update.
5. Reduce / size to 5 G to make more space. Click update.
5. Select swap, reduce size to 500M to make more space.
6. Add /var, 1G size.
7. Add new volume group for /var, use RAID-1 for it and assign it only for 2nd and 3rd disks.
8. Add /home without size.
9. Switch /home VG to new VG.

Note this inconsistency:
10. Click on /var, click Change for volume group. Note that it has 1st and 2nd disks selected. Switch to 2nd and 3rd, save, update.

11. Start install.

Adding as blocker as per:

The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system and/or container format combination offered in a default installer configuration.

In comment 37 and comment 39 I did also a few of other clicking. When doing straight forward it result in this crash - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1040716#c16

Discussed at Go/No-Go meeting on 2013-12-12 [1]. This is a RejectedBlocker. While this would be considered a blocker on more common setups, two raids distributed over three disks is too much of a corner case to block final.

Alexey, could you please file a separate bug for your problem, so that David Lehman can review it easier? Thanks!

Comment 45 Arenas Belon, Carlo Marcelo 2013-12-21 12:44:40 UTC
Installing Fedora from a USB in an EFI enabled ASUS laptop (with secure boot enabled) where main windows partition was resized to allow for installing Fedora.

reviewing the partitioning showed no linux partitions (only /boot/efi) to be mounted and now obvious way to create my own, so reselect the disk and asked for it to be autopartitioned again without checking (the checkbox) that ask for reviewing the changes further

Hi Team.
Tried installing on USB disk (32GB) with fedora live xfce image. (fedora 20)
Fails with pvcreate failure. 
Happening only with 64 bit image it seems. 
Same problem with any usb disk I use. So usb disk cant be issue. 
Also tried using LVM, standard partition and same problem.

Sems cant install onto usb disk with 64bit live image.

Comment 51 Brian Lane 2014-09-03 01:35:12 UTC
Bumping to f21 since we're still seeing this.

Comment 52 Fedora End Of Life 2015-11-04 14:20:35 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '21'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 53 Fedora End Of Life 2015-12-02 03:00:41 UTC
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
