I'm not sure if this related to anaconda or some other component. Please advise. Description of problem: I installed FC3 on 14 systems using kickstart installation over NFS. In every single case, the installation created disk labels with a random "1" attached to the end of it. For example, a system "soda" was created with these statements in the kickstart file: ... install nfs --server=192.168.127.200 --dir=/export/fedora-core/3 zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel # Disk partitioning information part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 250 --ondisk sda part / --fstype ext3 --size 20480 --ondisk sda part swap --size 16384 --ondisk sda part /disk1 --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow --ondisk=sda ... But /etc/fstab was created with these entries: [root@soda ~]# grep LABEL /etc/fstab LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/disk11 /disk1 ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=SWAP-sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 [root@soda ~]# Observe the extra "1" on "/", "/boot" and "/disk1". This extra character is also visible during boot up: /1: clean, 151906/2626560 files, 792774/5242880 blocks ^ Checking root filesystem succeeded Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: succeeded No volume groups found Setting up Logical Volume Management: succeeded /boot1: clean, 52/64256 files, 31131/257008 blocks ^ On a different machine, with this kickstart statements: # Disk partitioning information part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 250 --ondisk sda part / --fstype ext3 --size 20480 --ondisk sda part swap --size 16384 --ondisk sdb part /disk1 --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow --ondisk=sda part /disk2 --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow --ondisk=sdb part /disk3 --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow --ondisk=sdc part /disk4 --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow --ondisk=sdd The labels came out to be: LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/disk11 /disk1 ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/disk2 /disk2 ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/disk31 /disk3 ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/disk41 /disk4 ext3 defaults 1 2 Note that /disk2 was set as expected. The machines work fine otherwise, but the labelling is very confusing. How reproducible: It seemed to happened very systematically since it happened on all 14 systems, and some of them were installed more than once (due to some fine tuning). The above odd label names happened every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. create kickstart file 2. boot target system with FC3 disk1 CD, enter "linux ks" at the prompt. 3. after the system is installed, check /etc/fstab. Actual results: Shown above. A random "1" is appended to the LABEL=. Expected results: The labels assigned to each partition should not have random "1" appended.
I believe this is fixed in Rawhide. Please test with FC5test1 when it comes out and verify. Feel free to reopen if you are still experiencing this problem at that time.
