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 Marian Ganisin 2010-08-05 09:15:57 UTC
Description of problem:
I prepared system with ext4 partition created on whole disk.
During installation I tried to shrink this device (due to verification of Bug 602442), however I wasn't able to change non-zero default value (it was 353 MB in my case). If I set different size, it was ignored and default value was used instead.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6.0-20100730.5
anaconda-13.21.66-1.el6.i686

Additional info:
Seems to be blocker to me, however I can't evaluate real impact to the customers needs and expectations.

Please attach logs when reporting bugs.

Sorry! logs attached.

However I found the issue. I used 'Alt+S' keyboard shortcut for 'Shrink' button to submit 'Volume to Shrink' dialog, user defined value is ignored in this case.

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2010-08-05 13:30:33 UTC
We'll look into it, though I do not believe this is blocker material.  It does not prevent installation.

Comment 5 Brian Lane 2010-11-19 17:15:00 UTC
Did you try to set the value higher or lower than 353? It will not let you shrink it any lower than the minimum size of the partition.

Yes, I did.

... set the value higher than 353. :)

Comment 8 Brian Lane 2011-01-11 19:55:00 UTC
Ends up you need to call .update() on the spinbuttons to make sure they have the latest value.

Comment 10 Alexander Todorov 2011-04-01 15:10:20 UTC
In Snap #2 changing the size of the partition and then using Alt+S works as expected.
