Created attachment 972876 [details] traceback on FormatCreateError Description of problem: Anaconda raises a FormatCreateError while creating LUKS encrypted partition for root. It appears to happen on systems with existing LUKS partitions. Creating a fresh installation partition worked on other desktops Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda 22.12-1 How reproducible: Has happened 4-5times consecutively Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Fedora 22 (Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-rawhide-20141215.iso) on a system with LUKS encrypted partitions for /home, /swap and / (root) 2. opt for manual partitioning and use the existing partitions (format /swap and /(root) as LUKS) and reuse /home without formatting. 3.Setup keyboard, hostname and timezones Actual results: Anaconda fails with a traceback (see attachment) Expected results: complete installation reusing the existing LUKS /home and recreated LUKS /swap and /root Additional info:
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22
Can you retest with Fedora 22 Beta TC1 and report back? http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/22_Beta_TC1/
unless there was a significant changed between Alpha-3 and Beta-TC1, this bug is still out there. Otherwise, I still had to destroy my old LUKS partitions (except /home) before Anaconda could proceed without a crash. I ran a fresh installation with Alpha-3 (F22) about a week ago.
Please clarify reproduce steps. Step 1 partitions are "Standard Partitions" as in no LVM or RAID? Is this MBR or GPT partitioning?
