RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Installed RHEL7 to an already initialized disk with an existing volume group.  The RHEL7 install gave me no option that I could find to actually name the logical volume, leaving the very non-creative name of "root".  I actually feel exceptionally lucky that the mount point was created on the existing volume group because I also had no choice of placement.  Where's the advanced partitioning tool?  This is a huge regression and loss of functionality from RHEL6 or even RHEL5.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL7 pre-beta

How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with a preconfigured disk with plenty of space
2. Install RHEL7 using the GUI
3. Attempt to name the logical volume that RHEL7 will be installed to or have any visibility how the disk is configured.

Actual results:
Fail.  Now I have to rename my logical volume, updating grub and initrd, all so the installer is more streamlined?

Expected results:
RHEL6 can do this, why can't RHEL7?

In the image on that page, notice the text entry labelled "Name" near the top, the dropdown menu labelled "Volume Group", and the button right next to that labelled "Modify".

I was never presented with that dialog.  I clicked the [+] and got a two line dialog that only asked for the mount point and size.  I had no other options.

I see now that after I get the dialog I mention, the one you indicate is shown.  My bad.
