Description of problem:
I have installed Fedora 20 TC5 Beta DVD. I set up lvm thin provisioning, reclaimed space, set minimal install and installed system. I was unable to boot after installation.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 20 Beta TC5 from DVD, set lvm thin provisioning and minimal install.
2. Reboot.

Actual results:
It stopped on "Reached target Basic System". When I booted without "quiet", it didn't show anything interesting. After a long time, it dropped me into dracut console and generated rdsosreport.txt.

Comment 1 Jan Sedlák 2013-10-30 11:33:30 UTC
From log it seems that minimal install is missing "/usr/sbin/thin_check" program and therefore cannot boot, it may be problem with missing dependency in minimal install.

Comment 2 Jan Sedlák 2013-10-30 12:08:42 UTC
Ok, it seems fixed in TC6 AND it's not problem with dracut, so closing.

Comment 3 Grega Bremec 2013-12-15 22:57:30 UTC
Actually, dracut is still missing thin_check and thin_repair in the default fscks list (that is, as of Fedora 20 Beta DVD release).

The installer does it properly, but after upgrading the software, I get a useless initramfs image that doesn't boot past target "Basic System" until I re-run dracut with the following:

 $ cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/00-fscks.conf
 fscks="umount mount /sbin/fsck* xfs_db xfs_check xfs_repair e2fsck jfs_fsck reiserfsck btrfsck thin_check thin_repair"

Hope this helps.
