Description Tong Hui 2016-10-13 09:57:42 UTC
Description of problem:
I want to install F25 to replace previous installed F24, however the installer cannot discover and recognize where F24 installed. Other GNU/Linux distribution, Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE could be discovered and use their partition.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F25 Beta

How reproducible:
Every time install.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start installation by using live USB/DVD
2. Search previous F24
3.

Actual results:
Installer cannot recognize F24 installed, and replace it.

Expected results:
Discover installed F24

Hi,

I experience - some sort of - the same. Uploaded anaconda.log, program.log and storage.log (packaging.log is empty). I've two disks. No all partitions - with fedora 23, fedora 24 and fedora 25 - of the second disk are shown in anaconda. I get the feeling that it has somehow to do with the btrfs installation (openSuse). Anaconda shows a rather long list with opensuse snapshots.

HtH,

Martin Kho

Hi,

Removed openSuse and it seems the issue has nothing (?) to do with the btrfs installation. It's absolutelily not clear what Anaconda is doing. See below.

$ ls -al /dev/disk/by-label
[...] 10 Dec 23 15:20 Archive -> ../../sdb1         -> OK
[...] 10 Dec 23 15:19 Fedora_21_boot -> ../../sda1  -> OK
[...] 10 Dec 23 15:19 Fedora_21_root -> ../../sda2  -> OK
[...] 10 Dec 23 15:20 Fedora_23 -> ../../sdb2       -> Not found
[...] 10 Dec 23 15:20 Fedora_24 -> ../../sdb6       -> labeled Unknown
[...] 10 Dec 23 15:19 Fedora_25 -> ../../sdb5       -> labeled Unknown

The swap partition - /dev/sda3 - is found

Does it mean that Anaconda can only be used with very simple hardware set ups i.e. with computer that have just one disk?
