Proposal: Changes to Fedora Server default partitioning scheme
by Stephen Gallagher 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

The following proposal comes out of the discussion at this weeks Server SIG meeting[1] Fedora Server will have: * / (root) will be a minimum of 2 GiB and a maximum of 15 GiB * SWAP will continue to be calculated automatically based on available RAM on the system * All unused space will be assigned to a volume group and available to be assigned to new partitions or extend existing partitions. * Anaconda will continue to handle the appropriate EFI and /boot settings We also discussed during the meeting whether we should have a separate /var partition by default, but the general sense was that we might be better served by developing a mechanism to allow partitions to be split from existing mount points, which would be more flexible going forward. As we did not have quorum in the meeting by the point we got to this proposal, I'm taking it to the list for discussion and votes. For the record, the current behavior of the partitioning scheme is for / to be given up to 50 GiB of space and then any remaining space after that is assigned to a separate /home partition.

Fedora 31 Blocker status email #1
by Ben Cotton 27 Jul '19

27 Jul '19

Oh wow, it's already that time in the Fedora 31 release cycle. Welcome to the first Fedora 31 Beta blocker status email! Action summary ==================== Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. bes — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1728419 ACTION: Server WG to decide if it makes sense to include "a DAP server" in the optional packages for the web-server group. 2. libdnf — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1727343 ACTION: QA to verify libdnf-0.35.1-2 fixes the bug Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1732620 ACTION: anaconda maintainers to build new package which includes upstream fix 2. gnome-shell — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1731908 ACTION: gnome-shell maintainers to verify the issue is resolved after rebuild 3. initial-setup — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1731415 ACTION: initial-setup maintainers to diagnose issue 4. kernel — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1733388 ACTION: QA team to determine if btrfs should be excluded from blocker criteria and perhaps propose dropping it from the installer 5. systemd — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1715699 ACTION: decide if this qualifies as a blocker Bug-by-bug detail ============= Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. bes — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1728419 — NEW bes not installable: needs rebuild, probably update to 3.20.5 Package was added to comps to replace dap-server package which no longer exists. It's unclear if the comps group should continue to carry bes as an optional package. If it can be dropped, this is no longer a blocker. If it should remain, the bes package needs to be fixed. 2. libdnf — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1727343 — ON_QA PackageKit: libdnf::Repo::Impl::detachLibsolvRepo(): packagekitd killed by SIGSEGV Appears to be fixed in libdnf-0.35.1-2. Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1732620 — MODIFIED FreeIPA enrolment via kickstart fails since Fedora-Rawhide-20190722.n.1 (anaconda-31.20-1.fc31), 'realm join' step not run at all Fix merged upstream: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/2052 2. gnome-shell — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1731908 — NEW After upgrading gnome-shell, mutter and gnome-desktop3 to version 3.33.4-1 disappear login screen Suspected to be related to a soname bump in libgnome-desktop. If so, it will be resolved when components are rebuilt against the new version. 3. initial-setup — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1731415 — NEW Network spoke doesn't work on ARM initial-setup Selecting the "network setup" spoke causes installation to hang on Raspberry Pi 3. 4. kernel — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1733388 — NEW Circular locking often causes btrfs installs to hang with kernel-5.3.0-0.rc0.git7.1.fc31 and later Installations since kernel-5.3.0-0.rc0.git7.1.fc31 often fail during package installation. The kernel team proposes excluding btrfs from any blocker criteria. 5. systemd — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1715699 — POST LiveOS boot, journalctl is missing many early messages Rejected as a blocker previously, but renominated. The question is: does missing the first ~25 seconds of log messages violate the "is working" part of the logging criterion? -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis
