Created attachment 406997 [details] partitioning before Description of problem: I've tried to slightly change my partitioning. I've removed a few partitions I used before and tried to add new ones using freed space, but anaconda reported that there is no free space available. See attached screenshots. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda in F-13 Beta How reproducible: tried once Steps to Reproduce: 1.from partitioning on screenshot "before" 2.remove partitions sda1, sda2, sda3, sda5, sda6 3.add partitions as on screenshot "changes" in sdaX to sdaX+1 order 4.try to add 5 GB swap space (there are 18 GBs of free space in ext. part. sda4) Actual results: anaconda complains about not enough free space Expected results: partition created Additional info:

Did you check the make primary flag when trying to add the swap partition ?
(In reply to comment #2) > Did you check the make primary flag when trying to add the swap partition ? No, I did not check it, but I did not check whether it was unchecked, but afaik unchecked is default value and I tried to create that partition three times (for second try I created partition when extended partition was selected, for three time I tried when free space was selected - I didn't know if it matters or not).
Hi, Can you try to reproduce this, and after you've got the "not enough freespace" dialog, switch to tty2 (ctrl + alt + f2) and collect the log files found under /tmp. ie: "tar cvfz logs.tgz /tmp/*log", and then attach them here (you can use for example scp to get them out of the installer environment). Thanks, Hans
I'll try it, but it'll be a little bit difficult, because when I got this bug it was not after direct step by step work but after a lot of "trial and error" before I got partitions sizes to my liking and also initial state will be different. I'll test this tomorrow morning.
As I expected I was not able to reproduce it, initial state is different and last time bug occur after a lot of new/delete/edit changes.
That's unfortunate, but about right for partitioning bugs. If you are able to reproduce and attach those log files, feel free to reopen this bug. For now I'm going to close.
