Description Luke M 2014-03-30 12:45:29 UTC
Fedora installer requires /boot to be in lower 2TB. This is not a grub2 restriction, even in BIOS mode. It's true that some old/buggy BIOSes might not support >2TB drives, so this can perhaps be justified in the case of a BIOS install (though I would prefer it to be a warning rather than an error). But it's definitely overly paranoid in the case of an EFI install, since it's safe to assume that an EFI system supports >2TB disks.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 11:24:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '20'.

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 20 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.
