How to reproduce: - create a VM with a 10G disk, 768M RAM - boot install media - create primary partition: /, 9500M - create primary partition: swap, fill up to maximum size Results: An approx. 500M swap is created. 200M remains unallocated. Quite funny is when you edit the swap size and set: - fill all space up to: 999M (which is less than 500+200) Then anaconda hangs for few minutes and switches swap partition with free space: - swap size changes to 200M - free space changes to 500M Please reconsider this autopartitioning magic. It's definitely useful when a user want's to create layout automatically. But when he wants to create custom layout, these limits are annoying. For example, memory of my virtual machine is limited and I *really* want to create larger swap space than usual.
edit: - fill all space up to: 999M (which is less than 500+200) should be: - fill all space up to: 999M (which is *more* than 500+200)
We've made significant changes to the partitioning code. Please give it a try in the latest rawhide and see if you continue to hit this problem. Thanks.
I didn't hit this problem last time I installed rawhide. Let's close this bug.
