Description
This test case tests whether guided partitioning to free space within a populated storage device is successful during system installation using the webui-based installer.
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 some storage volumes, but also sufficient free (unpartitioned) space for a Fedora installation.
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 but the "Reclaim space" checkbox is unchecked, and click "Next".
- 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.
