Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Fedora_40_Beta_Release_Criteria#custom-partitioning release criterion.

Description

A complete installation using the ext4 filesystem on LVM for system partitions.

Setup

  1. Prepare a test system with a working, supported storage device of sufficient size for a Fedora install, and a Fedora installation medium that uses the GTK-based installer. Do not use Fedora Workstation live on Fedora 40+, as that uses the webui-based installer.

How to test

  1. Boot the GTK-based installer using any available means. Do not use Fedora Workstation live on Fedora 40+, as that uses the webui-based installer.
  2. Proceed to the installer's main screen, making sensible choices, and enter the Installation Destination screen.
  3. Ensure only the single target device you prepared is selected as the installation target disk.
  4. Ensure the Custom option is selected under Storage Configuration, and complete this screen.
  5. On the MANUAL PARTITIONING screen, delete all existing partitions (if any).
  6. Pick LVM from the New mount points will use the following partitioning scheme drop-down
  7. Click the Click here to create them automatically link
  8. Go through all created partitions and make sure they are configured to use the ext4 filesystem. If they are not, change them to ext4.
  9. Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options.
  10. Boot the installed system.

Expected Results

  1. The expected partition layout should be created on the target device(s).
  2. The install process should complete successfully and the installed system should boot as expected.
