Bug Fixes

BZ#823856, BZ#832688, BZ#837440

Previously, when using the volgroup command with the --useexisting option without specifying the physical volume (PV), the system installation failed with the following message:

volgroup must be given a list of partitions

With this update, the library scripts have been set to check if the PVs are defined prior to the installation. In case of undefined PVs, the scripts raise a warning message to notify the user.

BZ#815573

Previously, the kickstart command options marked as deprecated were not allowed to carry a value. Consequently, a kickstart file containing a deprecated command option with an assigned value, such as --videoram="value", could not be validated. The ksvalidator tool terminated with the following message:

--videoram option does not take a value

With this update, the deprecated options have been allowed to take values and the error no longer occurs in the aforementioned scenario.

Enhancement

BZ#843174

The "autopart", "logvol", "part", and "raid" commands can now take the --cipher option to specify the encryption algorithm to be used for encrypting devices. If this option is not provided, the installer will use the default algorithm.
