In short, I've not let this version of Anaconda perform an actual installation. The list of how it wanted to modify my partitions appeared too dangerous to me to let it continue. Install scenario: Fedora-19-Alpha-TC4-x86_64-DVD.iso on USB stick, which differs from my usual DVD image on HDD installations. I examined custom partitioning, so I could give feedback on bug 883138. My plan was _not_ to create any partitions, but just to reuse existing ones from an older installation of Fedora and a couple of shared ones as used for custom mount-points below /mnt and autofs. 1) In order to be able to reuse my existing LUKS /home, I needed to look it up in the "unknown" section and enter the passphrase to unlock it. So far so good, but then it disappeared from the "unknown" section. I had to search for it again, this time in the several sections for existing installations. Only then I could define a mount-point for it. 2) As a side-effect of 1) but not limited to /home, when I added a mount-point for an existing partition/volume, Anaconda messed up the defails it displays about it. For example, I have a partition labelled "distimages" mounted on /mnt/distimages, and once I entered mount-point /mnt/distimages to use this storage place also for the new F19 installation, Anaconda no longer called it "Distimages" but "ext2" for the currently open installation entry. Some mouse-clicks later, eventually it would return to the name "Distimages" everywhere. 3) Occasionally, and temporarily, a yellow "Please enter a valid mount-point" warning at the bottom appeared. No idea when or why. I didn't spend any time on that, because the warning didn't make sense in the context of what I did on that screen. Whenever I had to enter a mount-point, I did enter a valid one, and I even clicked "Update Settings". In case the warning gets displayed also when "just looking", that doesn't make sense. 4) Points 1-3 made me curious, so I changed my mind and clicked '+' to try creating a new partition. In LVM mode. I entered mount-point '/' and capacity '20 GB'. The volume group (with plenty of free space) was chosen automatically. When returning to the main screen to begin installation, Anaconda warned me that it would "resize / ..." two of the reused logical partitions. Why does it want to do that? Is it related to clicking "Update Settings" earlier? -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
