Description of problem: Right now, if an installclass which matches some product is used, autopartitioning can correctly set all values for the system. However, if users select "Manual Partitioning", the values from the installclass (btrfs v LVM thin provisioning v regular LVM; xfs v ext4 v ...) are not used as defaults. Instead, this values appear to be set by a constant, which is not customizable. Expected results: It should be possible to set some value in an installclass which changes these defaults if 'manual partitioning' is selected.
Could you please attach a file with the custom installclass and provide some concrete examples of the expected versus actual behaviour, please?
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/rhel7-branch/pyanaconda/installclasses/rhv.py You can see what we use "thin=true" However, if you boot Anaconda in interactive mode and manual partitioning is selected, anaconda still defaults to regular, non-thin volumes.
