can you provide a bit more information about the context in which you encountered this, and which release criterion it infringes? thanks! This occurs when the user tries to create a new partition that is not within the size limits for the type of formatting selected. In this case the formatting is BIOS Boot, which must be between 512KB and 2MB in size. I have posted a simple patch for review. @Adam, I'm going to say 7 because it kills the install. It is also a very easily reproachable bug, which means that *random user* could cause it. @David, This is what happens when I am not quite paying full attention to what I'm doing. However, it needs to not cause Anaconda to crash. I'm not sure that this hits any of the alpha release criteria. I think that it definitely hits the final criterion: The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system offered in a default installer configuration, LVM, software, hardware or BIOS RAID, or combination of the above The closest alpha criterion that I'm seeing (assuming that the default partition layout doesn't hit this) would be: The installer must be able to complete an installation using the entire disk, existing free space, or existing Linux partitions methods, with or without encryption enabled But I do think that using that criterion is a bit of a stretch. Unless I'm missing something here, I'm thinking -1 alpha blocker and +1 final blocker. It sounds like a fix will be in shortly, though and this will be closed well before final. If this requires a custom layout, yes, it's not Alpha. The criterion you cite is pretty straightforward: those are actual options in the installer. So it's easy enough to check if any of them hits this bug. Just try doing and install and using those options - *not* the custom layout option. Discussed in the 2011-07-22 blocker bug review meeting. We agreed that this does not hit any of the alpha release criteria and is rejected as an alpha blocker. However, it does hit the final release criterion: The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system offered in a default installer configuration, LVM, software, hardware or BIOS RAID, or combination of the above As such, it has been accepted as a final blocker. *** Bug 727688 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** It's been a while since this bug was reported and there have been some changes in anaconda since then. Can you still reproduce this with beta? I'll try when I get home. Discussed at 2011-10-14 blocker review. John, can you please confirm this one so we can close it? Thanks! Oops, forgot to do this. I can confirm that it is fixed. Going ahead and closing. |
