Description of problem: I do not know how anaconda partitioning your disk with It new interface. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 18 Alpha-RC 3.1 XFCE SPIN (I guess anaconda installer is same than XFCE as desktop, KDE...) I have this HDD table partition. 1- Fedora 17 /boot 2.04GB ext4 2- Fedora 17 / 60.12GB ext4 3- Fedora 17 /home 300*GB ext4 4- * swap 2.04GB swap 5- free space * 30GB * 6- EFI partition * I launched anaconda, so good, and when I get to the partitioning option, I run my only HDD detected. (I have only one) Well, I select it, I give below, and I get a window to check the model of hard drive partitioning. OK After ,not understand anything, I select "New Installation F18 ...", I give +, put "/" and then I assign .... 30GB. 1. Where did these 30GB extracted? from free space? What if I have not and I formatted my ext4 partition from gparted? After giving him so, with "/" ... et, in the installation process came the message "Creating ext4 on / dev/sda9". Everything OK, but then came "Creating ext4 on / dev/sdb1". What does this mean? Do you also try to settle in the pendrive? : S I've also tried creating a partition from GParted, but ... uses the free space but assign the mount point by selecting the partition I made for F18 in "Unknown" I think, should add how to partition disk options of old anaconda installer, because this is not understandable. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. run anaconda, "Installation destination" 2. Make USB bootable 3. Boot USB 4. Run anaconda 5. Select "Installation destination" 6. Your HDD 7. Try partitioning 8. Install it
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
If you're going to use the custom partitioning interface, please read the help text. Bugzilla is not a support system.
