Here is a reproducer and corresponding log file:

Start with a 12 GB disk having a preexisting storage configuration:
NAME                    MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda                       8:0    0    12G  0 disk 
├─sda1                    8:1    0   500M  0 part 
└─sda2                    8:2    0   4.4G  0 part 
  ├─fedora-swap (dm-2)  253:2    0   500M  0 lvm

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2013-01-08 21:25:07 UTC
I am unable to reproduce this with the instructions in comment #2 and anaconda 18.37.11.  If you are able to, please let me know.  Thanks.

Comment 4 Steve Tyler 2013-08-09 21:00:27 UTC
David: Closing this bug with resolution INSUFFICIENT_DATA is *highly offensive*. I go to a lot of trouble to write detailed reproducers, and Comment 2 is about as detailed as you will ever get. You should be thanking me for providing such detailed reproducers.

You don't appear to understand Comment 3. Chris is retesting with a *later* version of anaconda and reporting that the bug does not occur with my reproducer. That likely means that the bug is fixed, but there is no explicit commit in git. If you don't understand Comment 3, I suggest you ask Chris to explain what it *really* means. And ask what the appropriate resolution should be.

If you are going to be doing a lot of triage, I suggest you learn to memorize which version of anaconda is in each Fedora release, including Alpha, Beta, and Final. If you look at Comment 2, you will see that I provided you with *ample* information to figure that out -- I was testing with F18-Beta-Final.

Since your colleagues don't appear to be giving you much mentoring, here are two ways:

1. Start F18-Beta-Final Live in a VM and run: $ rpm -q anaconda.

2. Find the last *stable* F18 anaconda build *before* the release date:
