Description
This test case tests whether guided partitioning to free space within a populated storage device is successful during system installation.
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.
- Ensure the target device contains some storage volumes, but also sufficient free (unpartitioned) space for a Fedora installation.
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 let the installer handle partitioning is set but the option to "make additional space available" is unset, and complete this screen.
- Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options.
- Boot the installed system.
Expected Results
- The pre-existing storage volumes should not be touched by the install process.
- 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.
