From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020712 Description of problem: While using Limbo beta1 I setup hdg and hgh raw as a Physical Volume Group called vg and then setup a Logical Volume Group called data. So the combination of hdg and hdh became /dev/vg/data. I formated it with ext3 and it became a nice 55gb filesystem. I had recompiled my kernel to have LVM support compiled in. I also added a fstab entry for /dev/vg/data to be mounted to /mnt/data. Upon reboot the Physical Volume Group vg was activated and /dev/vg/data was mounted. Then Limbo beta2 came out and I backed up files to /home and rebooted to install Limbo beta2 fresh. I didn't want to format /home or /dev/vg/data. When I got to Disk Druid if I selected the Logical Volume Group data and then tried to hit edit I got a error message, "Not enough physical volumes".I also was told by the installer when entering Disk Druid that hdg and hdh weren't initialized and asked if I wanted to initialize them, I answered no to each. If I tried to ignore LVM and set mount points for the other partitions I got an error message about not enough space and then the installer crashed. I tried both the graphical and text installer multiple times and each time it crashed the same way. Finally I shut the machine down and unplugged those drives. Then I went booted back into anaconda and it installed just fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup a Physical Volume Group with raw drives 2. Boot off cd and start anaconda 3. Try to configure mount points for partitions in Disk Druid. Actual Results: Installer crashes Expected Results: Installer to allow the user to set mount points and continue on with the install Additional info:
This will have to be handled in a future release.
I understand this could be support in a future release, but I feel the installer should at least let you ignore the LVM Volume Groups and not crash.
The crash about not enough space is a different bug (don't remember the bug id offhand) that I'm just about to commit a fix for
