screenshot with loop devices
Description of problem:
When running graphical (vnc) installation of F16 on s390x, filtering UI shows loop devices (loop0 - loop2) in addition to DASD drives. See attached screenshot.
These loop devices are:
-bash-4.2# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [0001]:5674 (/squashfs.img)
/dev/loop1: [0700]:3 (/run/initramfs/squashfs/LiveOS/rootfs.img)
/dev/loop2: [0001]:6012 (/overlay)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-16.17
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start the installation in vnc mode
2. proceed to "Specialized Storage Devices"
3. inspect "Basic Devices" tab
Actual results:
loop devices are available to be used for the installation
Expected results:
loop devices are not shown
Discussed in the 2011-09-30 blocker bug review meeting. Rejected as a blocker bug for Fedora 16 final because it doesn't hit any release criteria, only shows up with advanced storage devices and doesn't prevent installation.
However, it can't be fixed post-release and it does look bad to have non-usable devices in the installer. Accepted as NTH for Fedora 16 final.
