Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Fedora_42_Beta_Release_Criteria#guided-partitioning release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion. If so, please file a bug and nominate it as blocking the appropriate milestone, using the blocker bug nomination page.


Description

This test case tests whether the installer can successfully remove some existing storage volumes and automatically partition in the freed-up space using the guided partitioning path, without affecting the retained volumes.

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 webui-based installer. Currently, that means using the Workstation live image.
  2. Ensure the target device contains multiple storage volumes, ideally one or more existing OS installations and data partitions.

How to test

  1. Boot the webui-based installer using any available means. Currently, that means using the Workstation live image and selecting "Install to Disk..." at the end of the initial setup process.
  2. Ensure only the single target device you prepared is selected as the installation target disk.
  3. Ensure the installer option to use free space for partitioning ("Share disk with another operating system") is selected.
  4. Enable the 'Reclaim space' option.
  5. On the Reclaim space screen, choose to delete some existing storage volumes (creating sufficient free space for the installation), but retain some others.
  6. Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options.
  7. Boot the installed system.

Expected Results

  1. The storage volumes on the target disk that were chosen for deletion should be deleted.
  2. The storage volumes on the target disk that were not chosen to be deleted should not be deleted.
  3. The expected partition layout should be created on the target device(s).
  4. The install process should complete successfully and the installed system should boot as expected.
