Following code used to create a volume group in F18/Anaconda: sdb1 = storage.devicetree.getDeviceByPath('/dev/sdb1') vg = storage.newVG(parents=[sdb1]) action = ActionCreateDevice(vg) # schedule and execute the action now In today's Blivet, I get traceback: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/openlmi/common/cmpi_logging.py", line 107, in helper_func ret = func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/openlmi/storage/util/storage.py", line 144, in do_storage_action storage.devicetree.processActions(dryRun=False) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/devicetree.py", line 241, in processActions action.execute() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/deviceaction.py", line 272, in execute self.device.create() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/devices.py", line 789, in create raise DeviceCreateError(str(e), self.name) DeviceCreateError: ('vgcreate failed for : running lvm vgcreate -s 1m --config devices { filter=["r|/loop0$|","r|/loop1$|","r|/loop2$|","r|/loop3$|","r|/loop4$|","r|/loop5$|","r|/loop6$|","r|/loop7$|"] } /dev/sdb1 failed', '') In Blivet logs I can see: INFO: New volume group name "" is invalid INFO: Run `vgcreate --help' for more information. It seems storage.newVG does not add 'name' parameter as it used to do. With debugger, I can step into newVG(), which calls suggestContainerName(hostname='', prefix=None). The function depends on shortProductName variable, which is empty string and suggestContainerName eventually returns empty string ''.
