Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

IOException: Partition(s) 6 on /dev/mapper/360a9800042566643352b476d67496d44 have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes.
What do you want to do now?
1) Report Bug
2) Debug
3) Quit

Expected results:
anaconda works
Additional info:
I re-installed the RHEL-7.5 RC-1.1 RHEL-7.5-20180308.1 on the same server with san disk in [1], it's weird that I didn't see the issue, not sure how to reproduce it. But I will try to install it by manual and will response result later.
[1] PASS https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/2371531
The failure was triggered by a specific broken lvm configuration involving a missing physical volume. At the beginning of the successful installation there was no existing lvm layout on the disk at all.
The root cause appears to be a fairly rare occurrence in which an lv is activated in an incomplete lvm volume group. Apparently that lv resides only on the non-missing pv(s). Blivet should deactivate such lvs explicitly in this case.
