Description of problem: After modifying a kickstart file to create LVM PV's, VG's, and LV's, I received an error in anaconda ("Logical volume size must be larger than the volume group's physical extent size."). I used a partition setup that works successfully on FC5: part /boot --asprimary --fstype=ext3 --size=96 --ondisk=sda part pv.01 --asprimary --size=512 --grow --ondisk=sda volgroup vg.01 pv.01 logvol swap --fstype=swap --size=512 --vgname=vg.01 --name=swap logvol / --fstype=ext3 --grow --size=1 --vgname=vg.01 --name=root Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.1.0.83-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Generate a kickstart file (used system-config-kickstart-2.6.13-1) 2. Manually change partitioning using a setup that worked in FC5 3. Start a kickstart install Actual results: Receive the "Logical volume size must be larger than the volume group's physical extent size." error. Expected results: Successful partitioning and kickstart installation continues. Additional info: The problem appears to be that the "--grow" option is not considered when the sanity checks are performed. After checking the anaconda source, I found the error message on line 924 of partRequests.py. The logic in that particular test checks that the supplied size (*1024) is not less than the default LVM PE size (32768). I had followed the basic output of system-config-kickstart, which sets "--size=1" when the "--grow" option is used. Once I saw the logic in the test that was failing, I changed to "--size=512" (along with the "--grow" option) in the kickstart file, and the installation proceeded as expected.
Thanks for the report. This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
