Description Tom Diehl 2007-05-23 14:49:05 UTC
Description of problem:
I did a rawhide install on my laptop today (5/23) and in the lvm setup screens
if you select format the default partition type is ext2.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-11.2.0.62-1.i386.rpm I think or whatever is in rawhide with the
kernel boot images dated May 22 05:10

How reproducible: 
Do not know. Only tried once so far. I can try it again if necessary.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start install
2. Select custom partitioning scheme
3. In the LVM config screen select format existing partition

Actual results: 
Default partition type is ext2

Expected results:
Default should be ext3 to keep less knowledgable people from gettting confused.

Additional info:
I am not sure how important this really is but I thought I would report it
incase someone thinks it should be fixed before the release.

We weren't able to reproduce this in some testing last week, fwiw

Comment 2 Tom Diehl 2007-05-29 19:05:37 UTC
I just tried again with the current rawhide and it now defaults to ext3.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
