Here's a large patch set that adds device filtering support to the graphical
interface, and does the right thing on the text interface. I'm not going to
go through a big explanation of why we need these patches and what they look
like. For more information with mockups (that I've largely followed), see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design/AnacondaStorageUI
Done reading that? Great. These patches are not complete, but testing them
outside of the tree is becoming increasingly difficult so I'd like to commit
what I've got and move on from there. Here's what's unfinished:
- biosraid support is still busted. If anyone wants to talk about the state
of that in detail and offer some suggestions, I'll be happy to go into
depth.
- zfcp, dasd, iscsi, fcoe are all untested. I do not have any of these
devices handy. If someone would like to make them available, I can work
on them. I'd prefer to do the work rather than farm it out since I already
understand what I've done in the rest of the filtering stuff.
- I still need functions to get port/target/lun and some other pieces of
information that the store needs. If anyone has any clever ideas here,
I'd be happy to hear them.
And then I still need to test a couple things like upgrade, kickstart upgrade,
and kickstart interactive. Regular kickstart should work properly. I've
implemented this as a handful of new steps that can be skipped by using the
kickstart clearart and ignoredisk commands. I believe most people doing
kickstart installs are using these already in one form or another (well maybe
not ignoredisk) so we should have fairly few surprises.
A whole bunch of bugs are addressed by these patches so I've left bug numbers
out of commit messages. Trying to break this up along bug-specific commits
is too difficult. Some of the bugs I've tried to address are 261181,
492785, 512011, 512053, 261321, and 478363. There may be others. These will
all need testing, of course.
So, questions?
- Chris
