RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1040445 +++
Description of problem:
This is a fork of bug 1027947. Several bugs have been identified in it, this is one of them.
It's not possible to select an LV partition, mark it for reformat (and mount) and then change its size. The size is fixed and can't be adjusted.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 20.25.14
How reproducible:
seems always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a default LVM installation with / (or swap) smaller a bit, so that there is some free space
2. boot into installer again, go to custom partitioning
3. select an existing LV partition (e.g. /) and mark it for reformat and add a mount point
4. now try to change the size of that partition up or down. Can't be done.
This is more or less the same in RHEL 7 public beta, except that once you set a mount point and check 'Reformat', the 'Desired Capacity' box is greyed out - in F20, it's not greyed out, but changes to it don't take effect.
RHEL 7 behaviour is kinda better, really, because at least it's not confusing, but it seems like there's no actual reason why resize should be disabled once a mount point and 'reformat' are set, so it still seems worth filing. But setting severity to 'low'.
From the description I'd guess it likely is, but that bug says "Please see the video." but I don't see an attached video. It sounds very similar from the description, though.
Looks good with 0226. Actually it's OK with 0127 too (but it's definitely still broken with the public beta, I went back and checked that just to make sure I hadn't simply forgotten how to reproduce it or something).
