Description Kamil Páral 2017-01-18 12:08:33 UTC
Description of problem:
I have a VM with a single standard ext4 partition spanning the whole disk. If I boot anaconda, I don't see that partition in custom partitioning, therefore I can't delete it, therefore I can't create a new layout. But guided partitioning shows the partition just fine (so I can use to it install with a default layout, but I can't modify the layout).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 26.19-1
Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20170117.n.0.iso

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a disk with a single standard ext4 partition (install Fedora 25 on it)
2. boot F26 installer (everything netinst)
3. enter custom partition
4. see that the partition is not visible, and you receive error "not enough free space" after clicking on "create layout automatically" link.

Comment 7 Kamil Páral 2017-01-18 12:12:49 UTC
Proposing as a Beta blocker:
"When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to:
    Correctly interpret, and modify as described below, any disk with a valid ms-dos or gpt disk label and partition table containing ext4 partitions, LVM and/or btrfs volumes, and/or software RAID arrays at RAID levels 0, 1 and 5 containing ext4 partitions"

Discussed during the 2017-02-13 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision was made to classify this bug as an AcceptedBlocker was made as it violates the following Beta criteria:

"When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to: ... Correctly interpret, and modify as described below, any disk with a valid ms-dos or gpt disk label and partition table containing ext4 partitions ..."

Comment 9 David Lehman 2017-03-13 15:50:51 UTC
The partition is detected, but some logic is preventing it from being displayed in the ui:

3:03:32,414 DEBUG anaconda: ui: devices=['/LiveOS/rootfs.img', '/overlay (deleted)', '/run/install/repo/images/install.img', 'live-base', 'live-rw', 'loop0', 'loop1', 'loop2', 'sr0', 'vda', 'vda1']
13:03:32,415 DEBUG anaconda: ui: unused=[]
13:03:32,416 DEBUG anaconda: ui: new_devices=[]
