Description of problem:
I was installing from a rawhide live desktop image in this partition layout:

Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1       11474    92160000    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2           13373       14593     9807682+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3   *       11474       11499      204800   83  Linux
/dev/sda4           11500       13372    15044872+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5           11500       13372    15044608   8e  Linux LVM

and tried to resize sda4 from 14692 to 1400; then anaconda showed an exception error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

anaconda-13.27-1.fc13.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a recent live desktop image of rawhide (eg from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/)
2. Start anaconda from Install to Hard Drive
3. Try to resize an extended partition
  
Actual results:
An exception error

Expected results:
Not sure, maybe an error saying it is not possible, but not a traceback.

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2010-02-19 07:05:22 UTC
David,

13.27 has all my recent partition aligment fixes, including those related to extendend partitions. So this seems like a "regular" resizing bug to me, assigning to you.

Regards,

Hans

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2010-07-30 10:52:24 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 21:50:50 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
