Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Fedora_42_Beta_Release_Criteria#custom-partitioning 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 webui's 'storage editor' and and using the ext4 filesystem on LVM for system partitions.

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.

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 target device you prepared is selected as the installation target disk.
4. Click the 'kebab menu' (the three white dots in a vertical line) at the top-right corner, and click "Launch storage editor". Click "Launch storage editor" again to confirm.
5. On the Storage screen, delete all existing partitions (if any), using the kebab menu for each partition.
6. Create any necessary bootloader partitions (e.g. EFI System Partition for UEFI installs, BIOS Boot partition for BIOS installs onto a GPT disk, PReP boot partition for PowerPC installs).
7. Create a /boot partition, set the device type to ext4, and set the size to 1 GB.
8. Click the burger menu (blue button with three white horizontal lines) and click "Create LVM2 volume group". Name it whatever you like, or keep the default name.
9. Click the kebab menu for the group you just created, and click "Create new logical volume". Name the new volume whatever you like, check the Purpose is set to "Block device for filesystems" and the Size to a reasonably large value (it should default to the full size of the volume group), and click "Create".
10. Click the kebab menu for the new volume, and click "Format". Name it however you like, set its Mount point to / and its Type to ext4, and click "Format".
11. Click "Return to installation".
12. Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options.
13. 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.
