Description
An installation without specifying a swap partition. When a system has sufficient memory, the installer should warn, but not restrict this request.
Setup
- 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 41+, as that uses the webui-based installer.
How to test
- Boot the GTK-based installer using any available means. Do not use Fedora Workstation live on Fedora 41+, as that uses the webui-based installer.
- Proceed to the installer's main screen, making sensible choices, and enter the Installation Destination screen.
- Ensure only the single target device you prepared is selected as the installation target disk.
- Ensure the option to configure partitioning yourself is selected,and complete this screen.
- On the MANUAL PARTITIONING screen, delete all existing partitions (if any).
- Click the Click here to create them automatically link
- Place the root filesystem(/) on an ext3 formatted partition
- Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options.
- Boot the installed system.
Expected Results
- The expected partition layout should be created on the target device(s).
- The install process should complete successfully and the installed system should boot as expected.
- Anaconda warns that system performance may suffer without a swap partition
- Anaconda allows the installation to complete successfully for systems with sufficient system memory (consult the Release_Notes-Welcome_to_Fedora_16.html#sect-Release_Notes-Hardware_Overview Hardware Overview section of the release notes for minimum hardware requirements). For systems with insufficient memory, anaconda must require the presence of a
swap
partition. - Reboot successfully into installed system
- Confirm that no swap partition is in use (
/proc/swaps
)
