After many attempts to install f25, I can now log in and see how anaconda makes the partitionning: What I wanted is a RAID1 system with this partitionning: / 2Gib /boot / 1Gib swap 4Gib /var 15 Gib /usr 40 Gib /home 600Gib So, this is what anaconda has done: /home 600Gib primary partition swap 128Gib primary partition (lol!!!) /opt 40Gib primary partition now an extended partition (/dev/sda4) 163Gib "inside" this partition: /opt 40Gib /var 15Gib / 2Gib /boot 1Gib Questions: 1- I would have done /, /boot and swap primary partitions and in an extended one put the remaining partitions: /var, /usr, /opt and /home 2- Why my swap size is 128Gib I asked for 4Gib! 3- How can I resize this swap? As I asked to have a RAID1 system, anaconda is unable to manage lvm on raid devices.... 4- Once upon a time, we could make installs of fedora (and redhat before) after we had partitionned the disks, we could use fdisk at the early beginning of the installation, then install the system, why this feature is no more there, making the install more opaque. 5- I would like to ask people who suggested to use Gparted to partition my disks before the install, to clearly explain how to proceed for anaconda seems unable to use an existing partition to make a new install!
