Description Bill Nottingham 2008-03-14 16:26:32 UTC
Description of problem:

Seems fishy. Although starting to filter the display there could get you into
more trouble.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rawhide-20080314

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2008-03-14 22:17:12 UTC
On which screen?  We're just going off of disks as far as I can tell from
looking at the code

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2008-03-17 15:29:45 UTC
The 'choose other partitions to boot' widget.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2008-03-17 19:46:44 UTC
Oh, you mean the partitions which are _part_ of a volume, not the volumes
themselves.

We've actually allowed this forever.  But easy enough to filter out LVM (and
RAID) components

Comment 4 Jesse Keating 2008-04-03 19:28:33 UTC
Think this could be done for F9, or should we punt for F10?  Since this has been
allowed before, I don't see it as being an F9 blocker.

The bug is in Modified state, so maybe the fix is already done and we just need
a retest?

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2008-04-03 19:37:37 UTC
The definition of the MODIFIED state is "a fix has been committed"

Comment 6 Jon Stanley 2008-04-14 16:26:28 UTC
Tested:

Installing onto single disk.   Several other disks (not used in install) were
previously part of a raidset.  Attempted to add at 'boot loader operating system
list' screen, and the only device presented was /dev/sda1 (as would be expected
- /dev/sda2 is an LVM partition, and the remaining disks are RAID).

Closing
