Description of problem: I have been having problems re-installing my system (bz 1477351) and so I decided to try with a regular Fedora version rather than rawhide. I went through the configuration steps, but the installer again had issues. Version-Release number of selected component: anaconda-26.21.11-1 The following was filed automatically by anaconda: anaconda 26.21.11-1 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/formats/__init__.py", line 558, in _pre_destroy raise DeviceFormatError("device path does not exist or is not writable") File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/threads.py", line 45, in run_with_lock return m(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/formats/__init__.py", line 545, in destroy self._pre_destroy(**kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/threads.py", line 45, in run_with_lock return m(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/deviceaction.py", line 696, in execute self.format.destroy() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/threads.py", line 45, in run_with_lock return m(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/actionlist.py", line 325, in process action.execute(callbacks) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/actionlist.py", line 48, in wrapped_func return func(obj, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/blivet.py", line 163, in do_it self.devicetree.actions.process(callbacks=callbacks, devices=self.devices) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/threads.py", line 45, in run_with_lock return m(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/osinstall.py", line 1112, in turn_on_filesystems storage.do_it(callbacks) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/install_tasks.py", line 437, in run_task self._task(*self._task_args, **self._task_kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/install_tasks.py", line 471, in start self.run_task() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/install_tasks.py", line 303, in start item.start() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/install_tasks.py", line 303, in start item.start() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/install.py", line 363, in doInstall installation_queue.start() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/threading.py", line 864, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 251, in run threading.Thread.run(self) blivet.errors.DeviceFormatError: device path does not exist or is not writable Additional info: addons: com_redhat_kdump, com_redhat_docker cmdline: /usr/libexec/system-python /sbin/anaconda cmdline_file: BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Fedora-WS-dvd-x86_64-26 quiet executable: /sbin/anaconda hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 4.11.8-300.fc26.x86_64 product: Fedora release: Cannot get release name. type: anaconda version: 26

Looks like a storage related issue. Changing components to blivet -- storage library.
Wait long enough and things work themselves out. This isn't a problem anymore using the latest rawhide.
