Description of problem: I just wanted to test nfs ks installs. I wanted to install on an existing partition leaving my /home partition untouched. Here is the relevant part of my ks file: part / --onpart hda3 part swap --onpart hda2 part /home --onpart hda5 --noformat Before installing the partition table looked as follows: hda1 -> vfat hda2 -> swap hda3 -> / hda4 -> extended hda5 -> /home Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): test 3 Actual results: Anacondo stopped and offered me 1) clear all partition 2) clear all linux partitions 3) use existing partitions I was surpriesed, that it asked questions during ks install (bug!) but selected 3) It then went on and seemd to be stuck at "installing packages". Since there was no progress for several minutes, I switched to vt1 and saw that anaconda had crashed, since / was full. Further investigation showed, that it 1) had deleted all linux partitions 2) created / as hda2 using 1 block (80MB) 3) crated swap on hda2 using 10G 4) created /home on hda5 using the remaining 5G All partions were formatted and in particular all data on /home was lost! This is really BAD! Expected results: anaconda should have used the existing partitions and in particular it should not have formatted /home! Additional info: The same ks file worked fine with redhat 9.
