Announcing - A new way to make live media with livemedia-creator
by Brian C. Lane 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

livemedia-creator is a new addition to the lorax project. Its goal is to create live images using anaconda so that we have one place to maintain the logic defining what an installed system should look like. lorax-17.1 contains the first release which should be working well enough for people to experiment with. See the README.livemedia-creator for details and examples. The current version can be used to create bootable disk images or to convert those images into a bootable .iso Development disussion will be on the anaconda-devel-list, and bugs can be filed against lorax. I'll either take them or you can assign them to bcl(a)redhat.com -- Brian C. Lane | Anaconda Team | IRC: bcl #anaconda | Port Orchard, WA (PST8PDT)

[rhel5-branch] Check if the anaconda attribute is set in YumSorter (#756707)
by Martin Gracik 22 Dec '11

[LORAX 0/6] Add livemedia-creator to lorax
by Brian C. Lane 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

From: "Brian C. Lane" <bcl(a)redhat.com> The wait is over. I think this stuff is now in good enough shape for others to start using it and providing feedback. The README.livemedia-creator file attempts to document things, or failing that, read the source :) I plan on adding this as a sub-package in the lorax.spec, I haven't done that yet because I wanted to get this out there with enough time for some feedback before vacation next week. The idea behind this is to integrate all live media creation (isos, disk images, ami images, appliances, etc.) into lorax and anaconda. In its current state it will create bootable iso's which can be installed if you set LIVE_BLOCK=/dev/loop1 before running liveinst. See the README for more info and for future plans. Brian C.

[LORAX 0/3] A couple small improvements to lorax
by Brian C. Lane 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

From: "Brian C. Lane" <bcl(a)redhat.com> It may be useful to specify the lorax.conf file's location. Added proxy support so that url repo sources work *alot* faster. And added a test for the output directory so that it quits quickly instead of blowing up after going through most of the install. Brian C. Lane (3): lorax: add --config option lorax: Add --proxy command lorax: check for output directory early and quit src/sbin/lorax | 16 +++++++++++++--- 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 1.7.6.4

[PATCH] installer fails when drive is already partitioned - system with multipath
by Mark Hamzy 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

This is for defect https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=761278 This is for a system that is connected to a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) multipath array. When I choose "Use All Space" and verify that "Use LVM" is enabled, I see 2 drives available. When I pick the first drive to install on, I get the following failure message: "Error Partitioning Could not find enough free space for automatic partitioning, please use another partition method." --- pyanaconda/storage/devicetree.py | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/pyanaconda/storage/devicetree.py b/pyanaconda/storage/devicetree.py index 7b411e6..f545ba8 100644 --- a/pyanaconda/storage/devicetree.py +++ b/pyanaconda/storage/devicetree.py @@ -1876,6 +1876,18 @@ class DeviceTree(object): [d['name'] for d in self.topology.devices_iter()]) old_devices = {} for dev in self.topology.devices_iter(): + # 761278 + # The basic problem is that the code in the devicetree to handle scanning and + # activating multipath devices does not work if the mpaths are already active + # when the devicetree scans the system.
