From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.8i1 i586) Description of problem: On a system running RAID-0, when upgrading from RH7.0 to 7.1 Anaconda detected a partition containing an unused /usr directory structure. It mounts HALF THE STRIPE as a regular ext2 filesystem despite the fstab and raidtab and then crashes. rm -rf on the unused partition did not solve the problem, but dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1 did. :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup RAID-0 striped partitions. 2. Discontinue use of a partition that had been used as /usr (switch to another partition) 3. Attempt a RedHat upgrade. Actual Results: Anaconda crashes. Expected Results: Install should proceed normally. Additional info:

Can you post the output of 'fdisk -l' on the drive(s) in question?

Ah. Raid partitions should be of type 0xfd (Linux raid auto), not type 0x83 (Linux). The installer will do strange things if the Raid partitions are of the wrong type. This is a dupe of bug #16833 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16833 ***
