Description of problem: I'm trying to install Fedora 21 using kickstart which worked three weeks ago, on 2014-09-24. The only storage-related thing which was changed in the kickstart from 2014-09-24 that: "volgroup vg_root pv.01" was replaced with "volgroup vg_root pv.01 --pesize=4096" Version-Release number of selected component: anaconda-21.48.8-1 The following was filed automatically by anaconda: anaconda 21.48.8-1 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/deviceaction.py", line 617, in __init__ raise ValueError("this device's formatting cannot be modified") File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/__init__.py", line 892, in initializeDisk destroy_action = ActionDestroyFormat(disk) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/__init__.py", line 856, in clearPartitions self.initializeDisk(disk) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/kickstart.py", line 595, in execute storage.clearPartitions() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/kickstart.py", line 1929, in doKickstartStorage ksdata.clearpart.execute(storage, ksdata, instClass) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/tui/spokes/storage.py", line 372, in execute doKickstartStorage(self.storage, self.data, self.instclass) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/tui/hubs/summary.py", line 53, in setup spoke.execute() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/tui/__init__.py", line 170, in setup should_schedule = obj.setup(self.ENVIRONMENT) File "/sbin/anaconda", line 1362, in <module> anaconda._intf.setup(ksdata) ValueError: this device's formatting cannot be modified Additional info: addons: com_redhat_kdump cmdline: /usr/bin/python /sbin/anaconda cmdline_file: inst.sshd dhcpclass=ipa-lab-vms ks=http://gordo.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/Fedora-21-x86_64-developer-brq executable: /sbin/anaconda hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 3.17.0-301.fc21.x86_64 product: Fedora" release: Cannot get release name. type: anaconda version: Fedora Potential duplicate: bug 1150043

I re-tried installation with kickstart from 2014-09-24 and it fails too so it is not caused by change in volgroup settings.
