Description of problem:

I want to create a btrfs volume in my kickstart file apart from the ones needed for installing the OS (Fedora 19) (assume ext4 for those).

These are the relevant lines from my kickstart file:


clearpart --all --initlabel
part / --fstype=ext4 --size=5000
part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500
part swap --recommended

part btrfs.01 --size=1024
btrfs none --label=f17 btrfs.01

I expect this to work as per [1]. However, it doesn't. Here is the traceback:


anaconda 19.30.3-1 exception report

e: 1

Here is the anaconda-tb-OwFcOY file [2]. These lines seem really strange to me:

Why does it invoke mkfs.btrfs twice?

The storage.log is here [3].
