Description of problem: I tried to install FC3 onto filesystems (/ and /boot) already mkfs.xfsed. anaconda died Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkfs.xfs /dev/sda4; mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb1 2. install FC3, use /dev/sda4 for / and /dev/sdb1 for /boot 3. Actual results: anaconda dies Expected results: installation of FC3 if the same devices are mkfs.xfsed by anaconda, installation continues properly Additional info:
Created attachment 106667 [details] anaconda's dump when / and /boot were pre-mkfsed
Created attachment 106668 [details] anaconda's dump when / was pre-mkfsed
Do the devices have a label previously on them?
no, no label has been given, just "mkfs.xfs /dev/sda4"
Can you manually add a label to the filesystem? (Note that the XFS support in anaconda is unofficial and not really supported; it's based almost completely on patches that have been submitted from external reporters)
