Description Kamil Páral 2025-03-17 13:33:43 UTC
Description of problem:
When I want to create a SW RAID0 on top of whole disks, Anaconda seems to warn about invalid layout when it should be actually valid.

vda: biosboot + /boot
vdb: raid0
vdc: raid0
raid0: / + /home

Anaconda complains about invalid layout, but it seems valid.

After ignoring the error, I saw the same crash as in bug 2352573 the first time I tried it, and a working installation the second time, but it ended up having btrfs instead of raid0. I'm very confused by this and need to investigate more. However, the anaconda error about the layout is reproducible every time, and I don't think it's correct.

See screenshots.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-42.27.3-1.fc42.x86_64
F42 Beta Workstation

How reproducible:
always, at least the error

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create the layout as described
2. anaconda shows an error

Upstream fix: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda-webui/pull/706

Comment 4 Kamil Páral 2025-03-18 12:38:59 UTC
Note that I used a wrong layout, RAID was not on top of disks. However, with a patch from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2352953#c13 I can create the intended layout (as described in comment 0) just fine, it works.
