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.

Description Jan Stodola 2021-12-13 12:15:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
Installation fails with the following traceback when a thin LV/snapshot is created in the kickstart file:

...

Partitioning commands in the kickstart file:

bootloader --location=mbr
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --size=500
part pv.1 --fstype=lvmpv --size=10000
volgroup fedora pv.1

A similar issue when the "snapshot" kickstart command is used:
...
gi.overrides.BlockDev.LVMError: Process reported exit code 3:   Option --devices is unsupported with snapshots.
  Run `lvcreate --help' for more information.

(a kickstart file is available at https://github.com/rhinstaller/kickstart-tests/blob/master/snapshot-pre.ks.in)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-9.0.0-20211210.d.3
lvm2-2.03.14-2.el9
python3-blivet-3.4.0-10.el9
libblockdev-2.25-10.el9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a kickstart installation creating a thin LV or snapshot.

Actual results:
The installation fails with a traceback.

Expected results:
A successful installation.

Additional info:
This problem started to appear after enabling the --devices option for filtering devices in bugs 1967212, 1983705.
Reporting against lvm2 to clarify if this is an expected LVM behavior.
