Comment 7 Pavel Holica 2013-05-17 08:35:30 UTC 
I also forgot to mention, that this happens on Fedora 19 Beta RC2.
Comment 8 Pavel Holica 2013-05-17 08:47:29 UTC 
Ok, and anaconda ignores btrfs if selected too.
Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2013-05-17 21:12:55 UTC 
This looks like a good candidate for Beta FE at least. You could argue it as a Beta blocker, but it's a close thing.
Comment 10 Samantha N. Bueno 2013-05-17 23:23:16 UTC 
Patch posted to anaconda-patches list.
Comment 11 Adam Williamson 2013-05-17 23:28:07 UTC 
Okay, let's at least consider this one as a blocker. Criteria:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Alpha_Release_Criteria#Installation_interfaces

"When using the dedicated installer images, the installer must be able to complete an installation using the text, graphical and VNC installation interfaces."

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Beta_Release_Criteria#Guided_partitioning

"When using the guided partitioning flow, the installer must be able to...Complete an installation using any combination of disk configuration options it allows the user to select"

We're in the guided flow in the text installer, it offers these options, but doesn't honor them.
Comment 12 Samantha N. Bueno 2013-05-17 23:44:51 UTC 
Patch pushed, commit e80477fcada25d5fed609a902107759e4ce0d16c
Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2013-05-20 16:33:46 UTC 
Discussed at 2013-05-20 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-05-20/f19beta-blocker-review-7.2013-05-20-16.07.log.txt . Accepted as a Beta blocker per rationale in comment #11.
Comment 14 Fedora Update System 2013-05-21 23:35:08 UTC 
anaconda-19.29-1.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19.

Comment 15 Vojtěch Boček 2013-05-22 08:55:01 UTC 
Tested on Fedora Beta RC3 netinst with anaconda 19.29-1, it works - anaconda correctly creates native, LVM and btrfs partitions when selected.
Comment 16 Adam Williamson 2013-05-23 17:38:37 UTC 
still fixed in RC4.
Comment 17 Jay Greguske 2013-05-23 20:13:35 UTC 
will this stay fixed in rc5?
Comment 18 Samantha N. Bueno 2013-05-23 20:28:09 UTC

> will this stay fixed in rc5?

It's tough to say, really--in a perfect world, yes.
Comment 19 Adam Williamson 2013-05-24 04:06:01 UTC 
There isn't going to be an RC5.
Comment 20 Kamil Páral 2013-05-29 07:28:31 UTC 
anaconda 19.30 is stable, closing.
