vgdisplay output after anaconda crash

Comment 4 Andreas Thienemann 2009-04-09 21:53:00 UTC
Planned partition layout:

sda1 ext3 /boot partition to be used for the rawhide installation (existing)
sda2 ntfs partition, should be left alone (existing)
sda3 ext3 /boot1 partition for a fc4 installation, should be chainloaded by the grub installed in sda (existing)
sda4 extended partition (existing)
sda5 lvm for a fc4 installation (existing)
sda6 encrypted lvm for the rawhide installation (newly created in the free space by anaconda)


Steps to reproduce:
1. Netboot anaconda
2. Select defaults leading up to the partitioning screen
3. Select Custom Layout
4. Click Next.
5. Select /dev/sda1 to be reformatted as ext3 and mounted as /boot
6. Create a new LVM partition, 17408MB large, select encrypted
7. Click LVM to edit this LVM partition named vg_workstation
8. ??? Wonder about the "Physical Volumes to Use:" list which contains luks-3 and luks-4 ???
9. Create lv root with 16384MB
10. Create lv swap with 1020MB
11. Click Next.
12. Crash.

Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2009-04-15 20:00:43 UTC
Did you happen to go back and forth from the custom partitioning screen to that initial "Use free space/Replace existing system/Etc." screen as part of your work?

Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2009-05-29 02:49:40 UTC
Does this persist with the current RC images?

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 13:34:36 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.
