From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.0; Linux) KHTML/4.0.3 (like Gecko) Fedora/4.0.3-7.fc9 Description of problem: During installation of KDE Live i686 version of Fedora 9, every time after choosing my existing /home partition (JFS), installer crashes and gives out a bug trace code Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.4.0.82-1.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. During installation of live KDE i686 CD choose 'create custom layout' option 2. Choose existing /home parition with JFS as /home for fedora 3. Agree on formatting root partition Actual Results: Window 'Exception occurred' appears and gives a possibility to save bugtrace Expected Results: Fedora should install on formatted root partition and use my old /home partition with JFS filesystem (ar, at least, inform me, that JFS is not supported and I need to choose another filesystem for /home partition) Additional info: I posted bugtrace generated by anaconda on http://hyperfileshare.com/d/c53875e8
Created attachment 305408 [details] Bugtrace from anaconda
Jesse - this sounds like the jfsutils package isn't getting included for anaconda to pull jfs_tune from when we're making the stage2 image. Thoughts?
The compose manifest has: # filesystem stuff reiserfs-utils xfsprogs jfsutils The compose log also shows that jfsutils is found and brought in, and also installed during buildinstall. However since the original poster was talking about install from /live/, then that's not pungi land, that's livecd-creator land. And since it's KDE, that's Rex.
none of those are referenced directly in any of the livecd setups, but these *are* included (from fedora-livecd-9-base.ks): @base-x @base @core @fonts @admin-tools @dial-up @hardware-support @printing now to check comps to see if those utils are in any of these groups... in @base, but listed as optional (ouch). End result: these aren't on any of the fedora livecd's.
My recommendation: reiserfs-utils xfsprogs jfsutils get pulled in somehow, whether that is anaconda Requires or making these default items in @base, or added to fedora-livecd-9-base.ks or whatever.

These aren't put in because of the space requirements. That's the nature of trying to fit things on a CD. The bug here is that anaconda doesn't/didn't detect the lack of these tools when offering you the ability to use them for your partition.
ah, gotcha, reassigning back to anaconda d00dz.
(In reply to comment #7) > The bug here is that anaconda doesn't/didn't detect the lack of these tools > when offering you the ability to use them for your partition. I'd also like to point out that anaconda tried to use these tools even though I asked it not to touch my reiserfs partition (as mentioned in bug 452436).
We've been detecting that filesystems aren't supported if the required utilities aren't around for a little while now, so I think this one can be closed.
