This is caused by giving small size of disk to the current system. I would be better to detect the smallest size required by the disk of the current system rather than to give error.
bug description: when shrink the disk with the default disk size value or smaller value. This will occur. It seems and anaconda cannot check the required disk size for the system.
I tried, but was unable to set a value lower than the minimum/default. How are you doing this?
Created attachment 531724 [details] shrink screenshot I got this error sometimes. You can find from the attachment screenshot, the default disk size is 2315, when I click 'shrink', the error occurs. If I choose a lower size, it will be resized to 2315, the error occurs,too. If a bigger size is set, that will be fine.
This is reproduced with anaconda 16.25. I think this is caused by the low size of disk. but anaconda does not give the proper error information.
In spite of the time stamps, the following log entries are presented in their original order: 05:07:46,487 INFO program: Running... resize2fs -P /dev/sda3 05:07:46,500 INFO program: Estimated minimum size of the filesystem: 643161 05:07:48,090 INFO program: Running... /bin/mount -n -t ext4 -o ro /dev/sda3 /mnt/sysimage 05:08:14,509 INFO program: Running... /bin/umount /mnt/sysimage 01:08:48,913 INFO program: Running... resize2fs -P /dev/sda3 01:08:48,924 INFO program: Estimated minimum size of the filesystem: 644943 So the read-only mount we do is changing the number of free blocks in the filesystem, which invalidates our minimum size for this filesystem.
This is probably caused by the filesystem not being unmounted cleanly just prior to installation. The read-only mount does some clean-up that should have been done on the previous unmount, changing the block size. Can you confirm or deny the correlation between not cleanly unmounting the filesystem right before install and this error?
I would like to close this since the bug is not reproduced with the current release--Fedora 17 Final TC5.
