Description ricky.tigg 2017-06-27 09:28:25 UTC
Description of problem:
The creation regarding partitions' labels whose names are identical are erroneously allowed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.24.1-1.fc26

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create same Labels at installation phase or on already installed system and valid the configuration.

Actual results:
Fedora does allow for example the creation of RAID-arrays, but not only, whose partitions’ label’s names are identical both on installation phase and once system has been installed.

Expected results:
In any coherent OS and currently Linux-like distribution, attempts aimed to the creation of identical partitions’ labels are rejected as a feature due to the reason that partition labels only make any sense if they are different; only in that case they can properly and uniquely identify a partition.

Issue alive all the way from v 26 to v28 – Version-Release number of selected component: Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-28_Beta-1.3.iso

During installation from above mentioned media, set name common to partitions respective Label fields.

Tested as virtual machine on QEMU-KVM virtualisation platform.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.
