Description of problem: On a server machine with 6*146G SAS RAID array, anaconda fails to create the last swap LV under the default partition scheme. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL5.2 How reproducible: Always reproducible on this machine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a server machine with 6 146G SAS RAID array and boot rhel 5.2 cd/dvd. # fdisk -l /dev/cciss/c0d0 Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 733.9 GB, 733909245952 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 89226 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 14 89226 716603422+ 8e Linux LVM 2. Choose the default partition scheme and don't select "Reviewing..." 3. Anaconda fails to create the last swap LV because of insufficient free PE. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: To workaround this problem, I had to review the default partition scheme and assign the / LV a little less space than the default value. The machine is co-located in an IDC now. So please don't ask me to provide more debugging information or to try a fix.
