Comment 3 Katerina Koukiou 2025-03-13 11:22:33 UTC
@lnie please specify what exactly you did with the storage editor. Is it RAID on top of disks, on top of partitions etc? Also what's on the RAID device? Did you create a partition table on that or format it directly?

Comment 5 lnie 2025-03-13 11:28:22 UTC
It is RAID on top of disks,and I created  partition table on that, then a partition, please check the  attached the screencast for more info,thanks.

Comment 6 Katerina Koukiou 2025-03-13 14:17:19 UTC
I am able to reproduce this, this need to be proposed as a final blocker.
As workaround would be currently to set the mount points when creating the MDraid partitions in the storage editor.

Comment 7 lnie 2025-03-13 14:27:56 UTC
Confirmed the workaround.
Gonna to propose it as a Beta blocker,as it violates: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_42_Beta_Release_Criteria#Custom_partitioning

Comment 8 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2025-03-13 14:28:39 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 42-beta by Fedora user lnie using the blocker tracking app because:

  This violates: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_42_Beta_Release_Criteria#Custom_partitioning

Comment 9 Katerina Koukiou 2025-03-13 15:44:17 UTC
Upstream fix: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/6261

Comment 10 Katerina Koukiou 2025-03-13 15:49:27 UTC
And the corresponding front-end test: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda-webui/pull/699

Comment 11 Kamil Páral 2025-03-14 09:27:14 UTC
Discussed at Go/No-Go meeting [1]:

!agreed 2351848 - RejectedBlocker (Beta) - we decided this is a conditional violation (the installer can do everything the criteria say if you hold it right, but it fails if you hold it wrong). Given webui is new and we have to accept some level of teething troubles for it in a Beta, we decided this is not severe enough to be a blocker, so it's rejected

Re-proposing it as a Final blocker instead.

Comment 14 Lukas Brabec 2025-03-17 17:40:36 UTC
Discussed during the 2025-03-17 blocker review meeting [1]:

* AGREED: 2351848 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - this is accepted as a conditional violation of "Assign mount points to existing storage volumes", in the case that you're using webUI and the 'existing storage volume' is a RAID device (possibly only one you just created in the storage editor)
