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.

Created attachment 424421 [details]
Attached traceback automatically from anaconda.
Comment 3 Ales Kozumplik 2010-06-16 12:04:18 UTC 
1) installed rhel6 on an ext4 partition (that is no LVM)
2) run the installer again, chose fresh install
3) chose 'shrink existing partitions', chose to shrink the original root partition
4) chose 'review and modify...'
5) on the partitioning screen went berzerk deleting every volume possible
6) saw the traceback
7) became a sad panda
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2010-06-16 12:13:03 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 6 Alexander Todorov 2010-07-05 09:46:55 UTC 
Tested with snapshot #7. 

1) Created a  system with /boot, swap and / on ext4
2) On the second install first selected to shrink the current system and review the partitioning layout.
3) Anaconda was able to shrink the root partition and create LVM layout in the available space (there was plenty of space available). 
4) Deleted all partitions and logical volumes one by one - No traceback.
5) Manually created customized LVM configuration (with some free space in the VG).

Install completed and there was no traceback at all. Moving to VERIFIED.
