This would blocks most local filesystem tests on ppc64le in beaker, set testblocker keyword.
Beaker uses Anaconda to create the partitions. The partitions section of the generated kickstart looks normal: =============== part /boot --size 200 --recommended --asprimary part / --size 1024 --grow part swap --recommended part /mnt/ltp-aiodio --size=5120 --fstype xfs =============== If autopart recipes (which are the default) are working, while explicit partitions are failing, then the issue is more likely to be on the Anaconda side.
Hi Nick, PrepBoot partition is missing in kickstart
Ah, now I see the bug - there's a hardcoded check for ppc and ppc64 that adds the "PPC PReP Boot" partition in the rhts_part snippet: part None --fstype 'PPC PReP Boot' --size 8 That check currently isn't triggering for ppc64le. As a possible workaround, Beaker may let you add a partition like: <partition fs="PPC PReP Boot" name="None" size="8" type="part"/> (I'm not sure that will actually work, but it's worth trying)
(In reply to Nick Coghlan from comment #9) > As a possible workaround, Beaker may let you add a partition like: > > <partition fs="PPC PReP Boot" name="None" size="8" type="part"/> Unfortunately I think this will give you an 8GB PReP Boot partition...
With 19.0 already in acceptance testing, it makes more sense to target 19.1 for this fix (that should still be available later this month). If the oversized prep boot partition workaround isn't adequate in the meantime, please let us know and we can get the updated rhts_partitions snippet deployed early via Beaker's snippet customisation support.
Bug 1164660 is an RFE against RHEL 7 requesting the ability to tell Anaconda to create all required partitions, while still being able to define custom partitions.
http://gerrit.beaker-project.org/3492 Also fixed an oversight where --ondisk= was not being passed for the PReP Boot partition.
Beaker 19.1 is released.
