Comment 2 iclendaniel 2011-12-22 03:45:33 UTC
Error in installation.  LVM fails to complete pvcreate as /dev/md1 device isn't detected.  Filter appears to be looking for /dev/md1p1 partition and not /dev/md1

Comment 3 iclendaniel 2011-12-22 03:58:18 UTC
To reproduce:

4x 1.5TB SATA
sd[a-d]1 = 1MB biosboot
sd[a-d]2 = 512MB Linux RAID
sd[a-d]3 = ~1.45TB Linux RAID


-Create 4-way 512mb (/dev/md0) using part2 of all disks....ext4 mounted as /boot
-Create raid10 array (/dev/md1) using part3 of all disks....LVM phys vol

Layout LVM as follows:
65536MB ext4 /
32768MB swap
4096MB ext4 /tmp
8192MB ext4 /var
remainder - ext4 /home

when anaconda attempts to write out to disks install fails.

Comment 4 David Lehman 2012-03-02 03:07:23 UTC
Try marking sd[a-d]3 to be reformatted as "software RAID" instead of just reusing them without reformatting. Let me know how it goes.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 10:12:39 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 08:45:07 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
