Description of problem: I was following this test case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_autopart_(use_all_space)_install I did a default install in KVM. In the booted system I run: # parted GNU Parted 3.0 Using /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) p Model: Linux device-mapper (linear) (dm) Disk /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root: 7114MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: loop Number Start End Size File system Flags 1 0.00B 7114MB 7114MB ext4 Please notice that there is "Partition Table: loop" instead of expected "Partition Table: gpt" as the test case requires. However, fdisk says: # fdisk /dev/vda WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/vda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/vda: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders, total 20971520 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/vda1 1 20971519 10485759+ ee GPT That seems like GPT. Either the test case needs to be corrected or there is something wrong in the GTP installation. I suppose the test case is wrong, but reporting here just to be sure. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda 16.19 Fedora 16 Beta RC3 Live x86_64

However, fdisk says: You are not specifying a device when running parted and it is using your root logical volume which has no partition table, hence "loop". Try running 'parted /dev/vda' instead.
That works and reports "gpt". I'll fix the test case. Thanks.
