Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Basic_Release_Criteria#disk-layouts 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 guided partitioning of a single empty storage device is successful during system installation, using the webui-based installer.

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 - e.g. Fedora Workstation live, on Fedora 42 and above.
  2. Reformat the target storage device.

How to test

  1. Boot the webui-based installer using any available means, e.g. Fedora Workstation live on Fedora 42+.
  2. Proceed to the installer's "Installation method" screen, making sensible choices.
  3. Ensure only the single, blank target device you prepared is shown under "Destination".
  4. Ensure the "Use entire disk" radio button is selected, and click Next.
  5. Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options.
  6. 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.
