Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Fedora_42_Beta_Release_Criteria#custom-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

A complete installation using the Btrfs filesystem for system partitions, using the Cockpit storage UI from the webui-based installer. The mount point set up should be done in the Cockpit storage interface.

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.

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. On the wizard header find the dropdown menu and click "Launch storage editor".
  3. In the Cockpit Storage integrated dialog, see the target disk for the installation
  4. Delete the device for the root mount point and re-create the subvolume and mount it on /
  5. Mount all remaining devices, home to /home, the boot partition to /boot and similarly any remaining custom storage.]
  6. Click 'Return to installation' button in the dialog footer, and review that the installer auto-detects the mount points specified earlier
  7. Ensure that the scenario Use configured storage' is not auto-selected and the device/mount point mapping is correctly shown
  8. Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options.
  9. Boot the installed system.

Expected Results

  1. The expected partition layout should be created on the target device(s).
  2. The install process should complete successfully and the installed system should boot as expected.
