Description Matthew Miller 2012-12-19 17:02:35 UTC
In the Manual Partitioning screen, I'm shown how much space a partition will take, but not where that partition will get that space from.

It would make the partitioning screen more comfortable to use if this were displayed somehow. This would also present an answer to a current confusing situation: when using RAID, the total of the displayed space used in the list of partitions will be smaller than the available space even when all space is used.

This is an advanced screen generally for people with specific needs or at least desire for extra control. I know it's a lot of information to present, but this is an important piece.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2013-04-10 14:06:35 UTC
Posting one more patch for displaying device names which will not make F19 alpha.  I think we've got you covered, but if not please take a screenshot of what you're seeing specifically and I'll take a look.  Thanks.
