Proposal: Changes to Fedora Server default partitioning scheme
by Stephen Gallagher 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

The following proposal comes out of the discussion at this weeks Server SIG meeting[1] Fedora Server will have: * / (root) will be a minimum of 2 GiB and a maximum of 15 GiB * SWAP will continue to be calculated automatically based on available RAM on the system * All unused space will be assigned to a volume group and available to be assigned to new partitions or extend existing partitions. * Anaconda will continue to handle the appropriate EFI and /boot settings We also discussed during the meeting whether we should have a separate /var partition by default, but the general sense was that we might be better served by developing a mechanism to allow partitions to be split from existing mount points, which would be more flexible going forward. As we did not have quorum in the meeting by the point we got to this proposal, I'm taking it to the list for discussion and votes. For the record, the current behavior of the partitioning scheme is for / to be given up to 50 GiB of space and then any remaining space after that is assigned to a separate /home partition.

langpacks packages not available in Server compose
by Parag Nemade 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Hi, I tested Fedora 24 Alpha Server install by adding language support for more than one language. I saw in anaconda/packaging.log that to have langpacks working we need to have langpacks-* packages be available in the repository. As there is not a single "langpacks-*" meta-package is available, Server installation showed no langpacks package translations installed on the Server system. I request to add all the langpacks-* meta-packages in Server compose tree. Regards, Parag.

Please help test F24 Alpha candidate 7!
by Adam Williamson 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

Hi folks! We have a new Fedora 24 Alpha candidate compose (like an 'RC' in earlier cycles) and go/no-go is tomorrow, so if you could please help test it, that would be great! The Server validation page is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_24_Alpha_1.7_Server and has download links. You can enter your results by editing the results tables directly (please follow the instructions on the page for that) or using the 'relval' tool - 'dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing install relval', 'relval report-results'. Not a lot changed in Server stuff between candidate 6 and candidate 7 so in the worst case we can count the candidate 6 results for go/no-go, but it'd be great if folks can just double-check everything if possible. Thanks a lot! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

I have a good idea where the edge cases might pop up. If there ends up being a problem or even a concern, I see two straightforward paths: a.) minimally up the max size, b.) punt to F25. Any change beyond minimally upping the max size make this not a tweak, and thus into punting territory in my opinion. But I think it's safe. And it's also not the last tweak. If some other changes can happen for F25/F26 then it does actually make sense to leave the extra space as unpartitioned free space. Who knows, someone might want space that's not LVM managed... maybe they want a dmcrypt volume directly on a partition. -- Chris Murphy

linux-firmware installed by default, but no subpackages with actual firmware installed
by Chris Murphy 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hi, On Fedora 23 and 24 Server, I'm seeing the linux-firmware package installed, but none of its subpackages. As a consequence, any wifi requiring firmware that Fedora supports in the linux-firmware package isn't installed. So I'm kinda curious what the point of installing linux-firmware is, if none of the firmware is actually being installed? And also if this is intentional or a bug? Thanks, -- Chris Murphy

Introduction and interest in Fedora server working group.
by Michael J Wolf 19 Mar '16

19 Mar '16

Hello I'm Mike Wolf and I would like to be part of the Server Work Group. I'm currently focused in the secondary arches area, specifically the POWER related areas. In working with the secondary arches team I've been helping with testing the releases as well and making sure that any issues found are resolved. I have also been working with the secondary arches folks to ensure we have the optimal package versions available and also helped with getting EPEL available for the ppc64le architecture. I have also been helping in the fedora area by helping projects get access to POWER hardware. This is done both through access to Universityguest instances and by providing actual systems. I'm looking forward to a chance to be a part of the server working group. thanks Mike Wolf PPC Development Team Lead IBM Power Linux Development Rochester, Mn
