Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 13538
Installer limit on number of drives supported
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:14:38 EDT
On gui or text install of Winston beta 2, with 20 drives attached (in this case 2 drives on internal SCSI and 18 in two hendrix connected to 39160 installing on a diamond)...installer reports: "You have more drives than this program supports. Please use the standard fdisk program to setup your drives and please notify Redhat software that you saw this message." Upon hitting OK to this message and error occurs stating: "Traceback (inntermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 423, in? Intf.run "todo, test=test" File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py, line 297, in run selficw.run() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py, line 639, in run main loop() File "/usr/lib/python/.S/site-packages/gtk.py" line 2554, in mainloop_gtk.gtk_main() File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py" line 125 in_call_ret=apply (self.func,a) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 373, in next clicked next=self.currentscreen.getnext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/installpath_gui.py", line 133, in getnext self.todo.expert) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 915, in_init_progress Window, ignore removable, protected.expert) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 877, in_init_self.ddruid=self.create druid File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 839, in create druid self.readonly, ignore bad drives, self.expert Type error: list of strings The same message about unsupported number of drives is given in RH 6.2. However there is no error after receiving the message as in 7.0. The related DFCT numbers as they occur in 6.2 are DFCT 15366.
The number of supported drives has been bumped to 64 in the internal development version.
This is still a problem, fixed in anaconda. Final fix will need to be done to kudzu
Will be fixed in next kudzu build. I believe it will start failing after 675 drives... (what does come after sdzz?)
