Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • According to the documentation the logvol --percent option is a percentage of free space; however, install is getting following error.

    Traceback (most recent call first):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/devices.py", line 2636, in _setSize raise ValueError("not enough free space in volume group")
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/partitioning.py", line 2043, in apply_chunk_growth req.device.size = size

  • Why can --size and --percent no longer be specified for the same logvol in kickstart.

    The following problem occurred on line 51 of the kickstart file:
    --size and --percent cannot both be specified for the same logvol
