Description Chris Lumens 2010-03-22 14:47:42 UTC 
From anaconda-devel-list:

Just tried:

clearpart --all
--drives=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:0:0,/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-1:0
:0:0
--initlabel
part raid.100000 --size=128
--ondisk=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:0:0
part raid.100003 --size=128
--ondisk=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-1:0:0:0
part raid.100001 --size=10000 --grow
--ondisk=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:0:0
part raid.100004 --size=10000 --grow
--ondisk=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-1:0:0:0

but with 13.35 I get the error:

Speciefied nonexistent disk
/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:0:0 in clearpart command.

That link does indeed exist.
Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2010-03-22 21:07:33 UTC 
Orion - does updates=http://clumens.fedorapeople.org/575855.img fix this bug?
Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2010-03-22 21:32:28 UTC 
Well, I can use the /dev/disk/by-path/... form but not disk/by-path/...
Comment 3 James Laska 2010-03-24 17:12:32 UTC 
I'd support taking this change into Fedora 13 Beta.  The fix has been reviewed at https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2010-March/msg00344.html
Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2010-03-26 16:25:03 UTC 
Orion, can you please check the status of this with F13 Beta RC1 (that's the release candidate for the beta) - http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/13-Beta.RC1/Fedora/ ? Thanks. We want to confirm it's okay for the Beta.
