Description
An installation using webui's 'storage editor' and including a disk-based swap partition (not included by default since Fedora 33).
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 webui-based installer - e.g. Fedora Workstation live, on Fedora 42 and above.
How to test
- Boot the webui-based installer using any available means, e.g. Fedora Workstation live on Fedora 42+.
- Proceed to the installer's "Installation method" screen, making sensible choices.
- Ensure only the single target device you prepared is selected as the installation target disk.
- 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.
- On the Storage screen, delete all existing partitions (if any), using the kebab menu for each partition.
- 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).
- Create a
/boot
partition and set the filesystem type to btrfs or xfs. - Create a partition with type Swap and set the size to 2G.
- Create a root partition and set the filesystem type to btrfs or xfs.
- Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options.
- Boot the installed system.
Expected Results
- 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.
- The installation should complete successfully.
- The disk-based swap partition should be active (you can check
/proc/swaps
or the output ofswapon --show
).
