Created attachment 331128 [details] cat /root/anaconda-ks.cfg;cat /etc/fstab;cat /var/log/anaconda.log Description of problem: When I installed Fedora 11 Alpha from a liveCD, during partitioning, /dev/VolGroup/lv_root was shown to be ext4 but after install I find that the / partition is actually ext3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.5.0.12-1.i386 How reproducible: It is reproducible when installing from LiveCD. Have not checked from install DVD. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot from LiveCD 2.During partitioning,choose either "Use free space" or "Remove Linux partitions" or "Use whole hard disk". On selecting any of those options, Anaconda creates a default partioning scheme, with / as ext4 by default 3.Install Actual results: An ext3 partition Expected results: Expected an ext4 partition as specified dusring install. Additional info: Atached files with output for cat /root/anaconda-ks.cfg;cat /etc/fstab;cat /var/log/anaconda.log
I think that for alpha the livecd ended up on ext3, so I think this is expected for now (AFAIK the livecd can't install onto some filesystem other than what created it) So you booted the livecd and then did install to HD, right. That (as I understand it) just dd's the livecd image onto the hard drive. In that case I don't think you should be given a filesystem choice. I think this is one for the anaconda guys...
Yes, this would be the expected behavior if the alpha was an ext3 fs image. I guess we could pop up a notification although there's really not anything that the user can _do_ about it
No, it just needs to be in the release notes for now - LiveCD is ext3, so the installed system will be ext3. This bug can be considered fixed once the LiveCD is using ext4. Is there a bug report or something that outlines the work needed to make that happen?
