The relevant release criterion would be Final: "The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system offered in a default installer configuration, LVM, software, hardware or BIOS RAID, or combination of the above" I guess under a strict interpretation, it fails to meet the criterion, because the *consequence* of the bug is that XFS is not 'offered' as a file system by the installer. You could take the view, however, that it's clearly _intended_ to be offered. I'd probably incline to the first view, because the idea behind the criterion is that you shouldn't be able to paint yourself into a corner with the installer - you shouldn't be able to pick an option that doesn't work. But it's a close call. It's probably worth proposing it and having the discussion. In any case, obviously, it should get fixed. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
