Created attachment 667435 [details] anaconda full exception Description of problem: I installed over a previous F18 disk, using 'manual partitioning'. ABRT points to another bug-report bug the exception appears a bit different. At worst it will be a duplicate of such bug-report. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): smoke10 (anaconda 18.37.6) How reproducible: unknown, happen once. Steps to Reproduce: unknown, i do suspect that it was related to a mount point using Unicode control characters. Actual results: *1 aborted installation *2 bug reported as bug 870586 (but the exception does look a bit different) Expected results: either finish installing or rejecting storage configuration if it was invalid. Additional info: anaconda 18.37.6 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/devices.py", line 786, in create raise DeviceCreateError(str(e), self.name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/deviceaction.py", line 241, in execute self.device.create() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/devicetree.py", line 323, in processActions action.execute() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 323, in doIt self.devicetree.processActions() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 174, in turnOnFilesystems storage.doIt() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/install.py", line 114, in doInstall turnOnFilesystems(storage) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 504, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 91, in run threading.Thread.run(self, *args, **kwargs) DeviceCreateError: ('lvcreate failed for fedora/: running lvm lvcreate -L 2012m -n --config devices { filter=["r|/loop3$|", "r|/loop4$|","r|/loop5$|","r|/loop6$|","r|/loop7$|","r|/sdb1$|","r|/sdb2$|","r|/sdb3$|","r|/sdb4$|","r|/sdb5$|","r|/sdb6$|"," r|/sdb$|","r|/fedora_root$|","r|/sdc1$|","r|/fedora_$|","r|/sdc2$|","r|/sdc$|"] } fedora failed', 'fedora-') Local variables in innermost frame: self: non-existent 2012MB lvmlv fedora- (26) with non-existent ext4 filesystem mounted at / e: lvcreate failed for fedora/: running lvm lvcreate -L 2012m -n --config devices { filter=["r|/loop3$|","r|/loop4$|","r|/l oop5$|","r|/loop6$|","r|/loop7$|","r|/sdb1$|","r|/sdb2$|","r|/sdb3$|","r|/sdb4$|","r|/sdb5$|","r|/sdb6$|","r|/sdb$|","r|/fedo ra_root$|","r|/sdc1$|","r|/fedora_$|","r|/sdc2$|","r|/sdc$|"] } fedora failed

Yes, I would say it's a safe assumption that these two are related and will be handled in the same fix. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 883689 ***
