Description
This test case tests whether the webui-based installer can successfully remove some existing storage volumes and automatically partition in the freed-up space using the guided partitioning path, without affecting the retained volumes.
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.
- Ensure the target device contains multiple storage volumes, ideally one or more existing OS installations and data partitions.
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 "Destination".
- Ensure the "Share disk with other operating system" option is selected and the "Reclaim space" checkbox is checked, and click Next.
- On the Reclaim space screen, choose to delete some existing storage volumes (creating sufficient free space for the installation), but retain some others, then click "Reclaim Space".
- Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options.
- Boot the installed system.
Expected Results
- The storage volumes on the target disk that were chosen for deletion should be deleted.
- The storage volumes on the target disk that were not chosen to be deleted should not be deleted.
- 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.
