Description of problem: While waiting for Fedora 7 Test 4 to be released, I installed openSUSE 10.3 Alpha 3 and setup a 1.3 TB RAID-5 array of four 500 GB SATA-II disks. I put an LVM2 volume on the array, called it vg1 with a single logical volume called 'data' (the RAID-5 array was secondary to my main RAID-1 array that contained the OS). I then installed Fedora 7 Test 4, and it was able to reuse the RAID-1 array fine for /boot, swap, and with /, /home ,and /tmp in LVM2 partitions (also on RAID-1), but when I tried to format the 'data' volume I got a message saying that only sizes up to 262144 MB were supported. 256 GBs? That's kinda small isn't it? Was this just an installer limitation or is there some kind of bug here? The filesystem is ext3 for all partitions. Both RAID arrays are Linux software RAID. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 7 Test 4
What did you set the extent size to?
Hi Jeremy, according to the installer, it shows the extent size as an unchangeable 4 MB.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp
