A quick example: BetaBlocker +1 (where the tracker name is one of BetaBlocker/FinalBlocker/BetaFE/FinalFE/0Day/PreviousRelease and the vote is one of +1/0/-1)


So as one can see at the prints attached to the ticket this happens only in advanced, manual partition mode, neither in automatic or in select mount point modes.

@adamwill does this still violates the criterion "The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system and/or container format combination offered in a default installer configuration."?

I think that depends on what we call a "default installer configuration", on my opinion the Advanced Storage Editor mode it's not default.

So.... I checked all the criteria and think this bug violates in fact another one, not the one pointed in the ticket but this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_44_Beta_Release_Criteria#Custom_partitioning
"When using both the installer-native and the blivet-gui-based custom partitioning flow on the GTK-based installer, and the Cockpit-based "storage editor" flow on the webui-based installer, the installer must be able to: (...) Reject or disallow invalid disk and volume configurations without crashing."

So, after all:

FinalBlocker +1

This really seems to violate https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_44_Beta_Release_Criteria#Custom_partitioning . In WebUI there's not even a hint that the configured /boot partition is too small (as oppposed to GTK, where there is a warning dialog).

FinalBlocker +1

OTOH, this doesn't appear to be a regression, so this might be a good candidate for marking as a Common issue and waiving it with the later blocker proposal exception, leaving it for F45.

I agree on it being a good candidate as a Common issue.

Yeah, I think the second criterion Geraldo cited is the strongest here, at which point it comes down to what we mean by an "invalid" configuration exactly. Is "too small" "invalid"?
