Description of problem: When I select a large pre-existing logical volume and try to set the mount point, Anaconda says "Not enough free space" - "The current requested size ( 904844.00 MB) is larger than the maximum logical volume size ( 262144.00 MB). To increase this limit you can create more Physical Volumes from unpartitioned disk space and add them to this Volume Group." Steps to Reproduce: 1. Using lvm2 tools, create a volume group in advance with over 256 GiB taken by one logical volume. 2. In anaconda, select "Create custom layout" for partitioning 3. Select the logical volume, keep "Leave unchanged (preserve data)" selected, and try to assign it a mount point. Actual results: LVM complains (with non-SI units) that the size of this volume exceeds 256 GiB. Expected results: LVM realizes it's already there and thus must be possible. Additional info: If I delete the logical volume and try to remake it, it gives me the same error message. I'm not sure where this 256 GiB limitation came from; it's apparently not in the underlying tools. And clearly the suggested action (adding more physical volumes) is incorrect. I only have about 5 GB free on this volume group, so it didn't come from the free space count either.
We are unable to reproduce this here on Rawhide with varying PE sizes. Can you try again with fc6t2 (or rawhide if possible)? Can you also provide more information about your LVM setup? The output of pvdisplay and related commands would be helpful.
