We successfully create sda1, run wipefs on it, commit the new flags, then the device node isn't there when we try to run mkfs on it. I think parted closing the device triggers udev to remove and then re-create all of the partitions' device nodes, and it isn't done by the time we run mkfs. Simple fix.

I have prepared an updates image containing a possible fix. To test the update, add the following to the boot command line: inst.updates=http://dlehman.fedorapeople.org/updates/updates-1109244.0.img Please provide feedback after testing. Thanks.
Uploaded http://dlehman.fedorapeople.org/updates/updates-1109244.1.img for use with python-blivet-0.61-1 and later.
updates-1109244.1.img does make it work reliably. However, I've thus far been unable to reproduce the original problems with unpatched 20140820 (yesterday's) Fedora-Live-Workstation build. Has the problem been fixed elsewhere? The problems were rather non-determinstic so it's possible I just haven't stumbled on it again.

we still have similar problem with ppc64 fc21 Alpha RC2 as reported by bug #1153346 and bug #1153657, are there really dups of this bug #1109244 ?
https://www.happyassassin.net/temp/blivet-1109244.img is a current updates.img which should contain what, I believe, dlehman expects to fix this bug (a udev settle between writing partition flags and formatting). It's built against the blivet from 21 Beta TC3, blivet 0.61.4 - I don't know what's in the PPC build. Can folks who are hitting this please test with that updates.img , and/or let me know what blivet version is in the current PPC test images so I can create a different one? Thanks.
Adam, Ppc uses http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/mash/bleed/python-blivet-0.61.5-1.fc21.noarch.rpm for its RC2. Which is not compatible with http://dlehman.fedorapeople.org/updates/updates-1109244.0.img We see: AttributeError: 'LVMLogicalVolumeDevice' object has no attribute 'singlePV'
https://www.happyassassin.net/temp/blivet0615-1109244.img has the same patch, but against blivet 0.61.5 (pbrobinson tells me that's in the current PPC builds).
With https://www.happyassassin.net/temp/blivet-1109244.img, I see: Traceback (most recent call first): File "/tmp/updates/blivet/devicetree.py", line 361, in processActions action.execute(callbacks) File "/tmp/updates/blivet/__init__.py", line 364, in doIt self.devicetree.processActions(callbacks) File "/tmp/updates/blivet/__init__.py", line 216, in turnOnFilesystems storage.doIt(callbacks) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/install.py", line 190, in doInstall turnOnFilesystems(storage, mountOnly=flags.flags.dirInstall, callbacks=callbacks_reg) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 766, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 227, in run threading.Thread.run(self, *args, **kwargs) TypeError: execute() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given) Testing https://www.happyassassin.net/temp/blivet0615-1109244.img now...
anaconda-21.48.11-1.fc21, python-blivet-0.61.6-1.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-blivet-0.61.6-1.fc21,anaconda-21.48.11-1.fc21
mark: did your test of my upgrades.img ever finish? regardless, if you build a new compose with the blivet from c#32 you should be able to see if this is resolved.
Adam, https://www.happyassassin.net/temp/blivet0615-1109244.img does work for me. And hopefully the new compose will as well.
Awesome news, thanks. Marking as VERIFIED.
