Description Martin Banas 2013-05-21 16:20:00 UTC
Description of problem:
If I have some free space on VG, and use it for new installation, all other partitions from previous system disappears from menu (see steps to reproduce)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-19-Beta-RC2
anaconda-19.28

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
Prepare:
1. On system with 2 8GB disks, create / partition, 3GB, LVM
2. Edit volume group, name System and size All available size, place it only on first disk
3. Create 500MB swap partition on second disk
4. Create /srv partition, 3GB, LVM, volume group Data, place it only on second disk, and set size to all available

Test:
1. Start new installation
2. On partitioning, go to custom partitioning.
3. Create new / partition

Actual results:
Anaconda informs user that it created the partition on System volume group, this is great. But the previous installation just disappeared from the menu (which means now I can't use /home for new installation)

Expected results:
Existing installation should not disappear, and user should be able to use partitions from previous installation at any time.

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 18:11:18 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 15:18:11 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
