Description of problem: As I described in Bug 689338, fs attribute in partition tag is mandatory (at least sometimes). However it is working very well without that, this job demonstrates it very well: https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/63966 Anaconda doesn't require definition of fs type, it uses default one. I believe it is true for rhel5.x and newer, I am not sure about older versions. Actual results: Web interface doesn't submit job with fs="" missing in partition tag, command line tool schedules it, but prints error message. Expected results: Valid configuration, no issues during submit with missing fs="" attr.
You are right, the fs attribute is optional, although it's not an Anaconda feature but rather the rhts_partitions kickstart snippet which will fall back to ext3: #if len($partition) == 4 #set fstype = $partition[3] #else #set fstype = 'ext3' #end if The fs attribute should be optional in the job xml schema, so that its absence doesn't trigger validation warnings.
