Description of problem: Creating a partition for "/" in manual partitioning results in a max size of 2.09T when leaving "Desired Capacity" empty on a 8T drive (disk image in qemu). Creating a partition for another mount point (example: /home) is resulting in 8.38T. Changing the disired capacity afterwards with the +/- buttens or by manual enter is possible, but after hitting apply, it is reset to 2097151 MB. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda version in Fedora-18-Beta-TC6-x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create / partition with either empy size or size bigger than 2.09T or change size after creation. 2. Size limited to 2097151 MB Actual results: Size limited to 2097151 MB Expected results: Size bigger than 2097151 MB Additional info:
If you want a large root filesystem (>2TB) you'll have to create a separate /boot filesystem due to bootloader/firmware limitations.
Ok, but 1) It would be good to tell the user this. 2) It would be good to make the '+'button insensitive if at limit. 3) If you create a partition (> 2T) for example for /home and change the mount point afterwards to / without changing the size, it is accepted as valid with a size bigger than 2T, which most likely results in #868925 (this might get closed then). Reopening without blocker.

We actually don't allow you to proceed with install due to /boot being on a partition that goes beyond 2TB. See bug 868925 for the details of why you were allowed to proceed with your install in spite of this check/error.
