My problem is that I have a test system with almost all of the disk

missing.
They are in Manual Partitioning, probably listed inside "Unknown".
You'll need to make sure you've manually created an LV because neither
anaconda autopart or Manual Partitioning can create an LV from
available VG free space.
When I click on a VG that contains free space (no LVs) I get a
message: "This device cannot be edited directly. You can remove it or
select a different device.
If I have a VG with many LVs, but still has free space, I can't get
anaconda to make new LVs.
I believe this is intended to be implemented but not done yet. I'm not
sure if it's expected to show up between 18 Beta and Final, or if it'll
only show up in 19.
Gene, as Chris says, if you have existing LVs you want to use in the F18
install, they should appear in the 'Unknown' group on the left-hand pane
of custom partitioning. You can select the LV you want to use for / ,
and enter '/' in the 'Mount point' box on the right, then do the same
for an LV you want to use for /home or /var or whatever. Then if you
like you can hit 'Apply Changes' and you should see those LVs show up as
the relevant partitions in the 'New Fedora 18 Beta installation' group
at the top of the left-hand pane.
I am not sure how things are suppose to work but I do not see ANY LVs!!!!
There are regular old partitions which I can use for /boot but all of
the rest of my disk space is in PVs. IMO, the whole way storage is
being handled in F18 needs to be rethought! Guessing how to do
something should never happen.
Can someone point me to some documentation which describes (and maybe
has some pictures) how to do manual allocation using pre-defined LVM
partitions?
I sure hope the fedup [boy oh boy, this sure seems to be an
appropriately named package] works because that may be the only way to
install F18 as far as I am concerned.
BTW, I am no happy about software selection either but I can live it
that. The current dusk configuration stuff, no I will not be using it.
And, I am not blaming the developers here. They are trying their best.
I do hold F18 leadership responsible!
