Hello, (Apologies if this seems to be an abuse of this list) 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 Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/devices.py", line 789, in create raise DeviceCreateError(str(e), self.name) 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/devicetree.py", line 237, in processActions action.execute() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/__init__.py", line 310, in doIt self.devicetree.processActions() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/__init__.py", line 169, in turnOnFilesystems storage.doIt() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/install.py", line 138, in doInstall turnOnFilesystems(storage, mountOnly=flags.flags.dirInstall) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 764, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 168, in run threading.Thread.run(self, *args, **kwargs) DeviceCreateError: ('1', 'f17') Local variables in innermost frame: self: non-existent 1024MB btrfs volume f17 (13) with non-existent btrfs filesystem e: 1 Here is the anaconda-tb-OwFcOY file [2].
