RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
In the drive partitioning section of the installer, you can easily create multiple partitions on multiple drives. If you made a mistake on a partition mount point, for example, and you click on it to change the name, if you don't also re-select the drive where it should live (in the allowable drives section) the partition will move to /dev/sda.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6 alpha

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a partition on /dev/sdb during install
2. Double-click on partition/Edit it
3. Change the mount point of the partition
4. If you don't select the proper "Allowable Drive", it will default to /dev/sda
  
Actual results:
Moved partition

Expected results:
The edit partition box should maintain the drive selection once it's been made.

I probably shouldn't close RHEL bugs as duplicates of Fedora bugs.

This should be fixed in anaconda-13.8-1, which should be in the RHEL6 trees in the near future.

Verified on build RHEL6.0-20100512.0 with anaconda-13.21.39-1.el6. Tested in kvm with two disks, when editing partition, only one allowable drive is selected.

Moving to VERIFIED.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
