ok, at the risk of letting my out-of-coffee annoyance show through, how does a show-stopper glitch like this get into a beta release? seriously, LV space calculation has been around for several versions of fedora, and yet, this bug made it into both the alpha and beta releases of f11, and cost me at least a couple hours of dicking around, wondering what i'd done wrong. at the moment, i worked around whatever the miscalculation logic is by creating: root LV: 100G home LV: 50G preserve LV: 50G and it seems to have installed nicely. but i'm curious as to how things like this get past normal regression testing or whatever strategy is used. by now, one would have thought that calculating space is a long-solved problem. or maybe that's just the lack of coffee talking. rday
