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.

Comment 2 Ľuboš Kardoš 2011-08-17 10:33:03 UTC
Partitioning:
Create:
-ppc prep boot partition
-boot partition
-two raid partitions
-LVM physical volume, tick fill maximum allowable size
-raid device, tick all previosly created raid partitions as raid members, set file system type: physical volume (LVM)
-LVM volume group, tick previosly created physical volumes

Then try to add to add another physical volume, message no available space is showed and the exception is occured.

There should be a file in /tmp with a name like anaconda-tb-<random string>. Please attach that file to this bug report.

Comment 4 Ľuboš Kardoš 2011-08-24 07:23:28 UTC
I have tested this on a release which is not available now. On the newer release I can not reproduce this problem.
