Confirming that this happened while booted off a live ISO image installed on a USB stick. The version of anaconda on the net install ISO *did* display the logical volumes (RC3). In both cases, I chose a custom disk layout. And a request: Could the serverbeach ISOs please have *exact* version numbers in their file names? "ls -l" and sha256sum aren't really ideal for distinguishing versions. Version details: [stephent@walnut fedora]$ ls -l F13-Alpha-i686-Live.iso -rw-rw-r-- 1 stephent stephent 875560960 2010-02-25 09:28 F13-Alpha-i686-Live.iso [stephent@walnut fedora]$ sha256sum F13-Alpha-i686-Live.iso 7623e48b2224e79c62ffade96a825942dba43a46b2c16c9a0c2acfa5b7cbccda F13-Alpha-i686-Live.iso [stephent@walnut fedora]$ ls -l Fedora-13-Alpha-i386-netinst.iso -rw-rw-r-- 1 stephent stephent 246415360 2010-02-24 15:19 Fedora-13-Alpha-i386-netinst.iso [stephent@walnut fedora]$ sha256sum Fedora-13-Alpha-i386-netinst.iso a2799da3b8d4c8958b09a5a8394216397b9a3d14547803686b36d8fec07b8f1b Fedora-13-Alpha-i386-netinst.iso Thanks Steve, I've also confirmed that when booting using a netinst.iso (or boot.iso), the installer recognizes pre-existing logical volumes. This appears to be specific the the installer running in the LIVE environment. Changing subject of bug to match updated test results. *** Bug 568556 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This could be related: Volume groups are not activated on the live ISO. They can be activated with "Applications:System Tools:Disk Utility". Activating them allows logical volumes to be mounted with "Places:Removable Media". Also, "ls /dev/mapper" will show them. However, when the installer is started they are deactivated. [root@localhost liveuser]# vgchange -a y vg_pluto 3 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_pluto" now active [root@localhost liveuser]# ls /dev/mapper control live-rw vg_pluto-lv_cedar_root live-osimg-min vg_pluto-lv_cedar_home vg_pluto-lv_fir_root # installer started here [root@localhost liveuser]# ls /dev/mapper control live-osimg-min live-rw [root@localhost liveuser]# (In reply to comment #5) > Volume groups are not activated on the live ISO. Correction: they are activated during booting -- boot messages say so. And "ls /dev/mapper" confirms. However, this exposes Bug 569174. Dave Lehman has recently committed a patch fixing this, setting this in modified and assigning to Dave. *** Bug 572101 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 573223 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
