Then you didn't look very hard. If you access the URL you gave in your message and looked higher up in the left pane, you'd see the documentation for Fedora 25 right there. In fact, here's the URL for the English version of the manual section relevant to the installation destination disks including how to set up RAID and LVM: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/25/html/Installation_Guide/sect-installation-gui-storage-partitioning.html I'm sorry, but the installation guide has not been translated to French yet. Translations are always an issue with Fedora, since its release schedule is roughly every 6 months and they simply don't have the bodies necessary to keep the translations up-to-date with that kind of turn over. Perhaps that's something you can do to contribute to the Fedora project. I know the Fedora team is always looking for volunteers to do translations of various kinds. >> No need to do anything manually. > > I did not say that things are to be done manually (but I think that it > is easier and quicker to things manually and I regret that this option > does not exist for the installer), I said that the graphical > presentation is illogical because the hierarchy is: partition>raid > devices>lvm as you can see using lsblk: > > NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT > sdb 8:16 1 931,5G 0 disk > └─sdb1 8:17 1 700,1G 0 part > └─md127 9:127 0 700G 0 raid1 > ├─fedora-boot 253:1 0 1G 0 lvm /boot > ├─fedora-var 253:4 0 15G 0 lvm /var > ├─fedora-swap 253:2 0 4G 0 lvm [SWAP] > ├─fedora-root 253:0 0 40G 0 lvm / > ├─fedora-opt 253:5 0 40G 0 lvm /opt > └─fedora-home 253:3 0 600G 0 lvm /home > sda 8:0 0 931,5G 0 disk > └─sda1 8:1 0 700,1G 0 part > └─md127 9:127 0 700G 0 raid1 > ├─fedora-boot 253:1 0 1G 0 lvm /boot > ├─fedora-var 253:4 0 15G 0 lvm /var > ├─fedora-swap 253:2 0 4G 0 lvm [SWAP] > ├─fedora-root 253:0 0 40G 0 lvm / > ├─fedora-opt 253:5 0 40G 0 lvm /opt > └─fedora-home 253:3 0 600G 0 lvm /home > > So using the installer for partitionning, once you have chosen a mount > point you can find a dropdown menu where you can choose lvm (default) or > raid (or btrfs...) and keeping in mind that raid is before lvm in the > hierarchy, you naturally choose raid and you cannot have lvm after > that...

And it IS there if you look at the _current_ documentation. Fedora 18 is over four years old now and the documents do not reflect how things are NOW. There have been seven MAJOR upgrades since F18 and a lot of them have to do with Anaconda and installation in general (support for additional filesystem types, easier encryption, etc., etc.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - This message printed using recycled bandwidth - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
