1. boot Fedora-Workstation-Live-42-20250315.n.0.x86_64.iso on a VM containing two disks 2 select the two disks then launch storage editor 3 create /boot /boot/efi /home on one disk, and / on another 4.reformat the / disk,say, if you choose xfs on step2,now choose ext4(different filesystem is not needed,you can also choose xfs on this step) 5 you will see the warning message pops up, after you click "Return to installation" button,as shown in the attached screenshot.It claims "you have not defined a root partition(/),which is required for installation of fedora to continue", but as you can see, / is right there. If I remove the "/" mount point,it will claims "storage requirement does not met"(screenshot2) Please note,this bug is 100% reproducible,even with the latest anaconda-webui. Reproducible: Always

@Inie I am not longer able to reproduce this bug with latest anaconda and anaconda-webui update. I added an automation test for this as well https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda-webui/pull/714 This was possibly fixed with: commit 623de33ca81717c2c538365f41d1d39ef9e06d77 Author: Katerina Koukiou <k.koukiou> Date: Tue Mar 18 06:55:53 2025 +0100 storage: when the bootloader partition is on different disks than rootfs choose bootloader device
So possibly fixed with: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-a50e6b787b
Hi, Thanks for your super quick response. I still see this bug with the following reproducer: Boot Fedora-Workstation-Live-42-20250315.n.0.x86_64.iso on a VM with two disks, update to anaconda-webui-28-1.fc42, then test as described in the Description. Not sure if it's the right way to verify this bug,but I do verified the other webui bug(BZ#2351848) in that way.
Sorry I now saw the difference with what I was testing. You format vdb directly, you don't create a partition table and then format the partition to be used for rootfs. I need to check if this is supported or not.
Fixed with https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda-webui/pull/714
> you don't create a partition table and then format the partition to be used for rootfs yeah, I see format option is there and I'm even able to set a mount point,and I think it is supposed to work for sure. Turns out there is no need to reformat the disk to produce this bug, and if you use the disk for /home, you will get a system without /home, as anaconda won't complaint /home dose not exit. > Fixed with https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda-webui/pull/714 Thanks for your super quick response.
