Description Johan Swensson 2015-11-05 21:44:08 UTC
Created attachment 1090396 [details]
anaconda.log

Description of problem:
Kickstart installation fails with the message "Not enough space in file systems for the current software selection. An additional 2.79 GiB is needed."

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Kickstart with the following storage configuration(this worked on Fedora 22):

bootloader --location=mbr --boot-drive=sda
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda
part /boot --fstype="ext4" --ondisk=sda --size=512
part pv.3384 --size=1 --ondisk=sda --grow --encrypted --passphrase=test01
volgroup odin --pesize=4096 pv.3384
logvol /var  --fstype="xfs" --size=10240 --name=var --vgname=odin
logvol /  --fstype="xfs" --size=1024 --name=root --vgname=odin
logvol swap  --fstype="xfs" --size=4096 --name=swap --vgname=odin
logvol /usr  --fstype="xfs" --size=10240 --name=usr --vgname=odin
logvol /home  --fstype="xfs" --size=51200 --name=home --vgname=odin 
logvol /var/lib/libvirt/images  --fstype="xfs" --size=51200 --name=vms --vgname=odin 


Actual results:
Installation halts.

Expected results:
Installation should carry on.

Additional info:
The same configuration without encrypted volume works.

bootloader --location=mbr --boot-drive=sda
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda
part /boot --fstype="ext4" --ondisk=sda --size=512
part pv.3384 --size=1 --ondisk=sda --grow 
volgroup odin --pesize=4096 pv.3384
logvol /var  --fstype="xfs" --size=10240 --name=var --vgname=odin
logvol /  --fstype="xfs" --size=1024 --name=root --vgname=odin
logvol swap  --fstype="xfs" --size=4096 --name=swap --vgname=odin
logvol /usr  --fstype="xfs" --size=10240 --name=usr --vgname=odin
logvol /home  --fstype="xfs" --size=51200 --name=home --vgname=odin 
logvol /var/lib/libvirt/images  --fstype="xfs" --size=51200 --name=vms --vgname=odin

Hello Johan,

could you please provide me these infomramations? 
Was that Server, Workstation and did you have special packages selection if yes which packages? 
Was that fully automatic kickstart installation?
Please attach packaging.log which you can find in /tmp/packaging.log?

Thank you,
Jirka Konecny

Server, I'm uploading the entire kickstart file for reference.

> Was that fully automatic kickstart installation?
Yes

> Please attach packaging.log which you can find in /tmp/packaging.log?
I can provide this later this evening as I don't have access to it right now.

Comment 7 Jiri Konecny 2015-11-10 11:23:34 UTC
From anaconda.log:

21:32:23,055 ERR anaconda: storage configuration failed: device is too small for new format
21:32:26,304 INFO anaconda: fs space: 0 B  needed: 2.79 GiB

So this seems as problem in blivet when the device isn't created and you then try to install to nothing (0 B).

The error message is really bad I will look on this and try to give there a meaningful warning.

Comment 8 Johan Swensson 2015-11-28 16:44:20 UTC
Workaround possible by setting the size to something larger and setting a fstype. For example:

part pv.3384 --fstype="lvmpv" --size=80000 --ondisk=sda --grow --encrypted --passphrase=test01

Full example:

bootloader --location=mbr --boot-drive=sda
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda
part /boot --fstype="ext4" --ondisk=sda --size=512
part pv.3384 --fstype="lvmpv" --size=80000 --ondisk=sda --grow --encrypted --passphrase=test01
volgroup odin --pesize=4096 pv.3384
logvol /var  --fstype="xfs" --size=10240 --name=var --vgname=odin
logvol /  --fstype="xfs" --size=1024 --name=root --vgname=odin
logvol swap  --fstype="xfs" --size=4096 --name=swap --vgname=odin
logvol /usr  --fstype="xfs" --size=10240 --name=usr --vgname=odin
logvol /home  --fstype="xfs" --size=51200 --name=home --vgname=odin 
logvol /var/lib/libvirt/images  --fstype="xfs" --size=51200 --name=vms --vgname=odin

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 13:07:06 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. 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 '23'.

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 23 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.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 15:25:48 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
