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.

Federa 35 Server default editor
by Peter Boy 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

In Fedora 34 the default editor was nano, for Workstation and also for Server. In my latest default F35 Server installation I noticed vim-default-editor was installed. Did some good soul take pity and bring vim back to us or did something go wrong with my installation? Best Peter

KVM does not start following the instructions in Fedora Server Documentation
by John W. Himpel 18 Nov '22

18 Nov '22

All, I am following the instructions found at: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/virtualization/vm-instal… I have found what I believe is a typo in the provided example in the documentation: […]# wget https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/37/Server/x86_… s/b […]# wget https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/37/Server/x86_… Also, the current image that I found was for version 37-1.7 not 37 (I could not find a version 37). When I attempted to install the custom.qcow2 image, fedora37 is not currently found as an acceptable --os-variant (The osinfo-query os command hasn't been updated yet). So I tried fedora36 and fedora- unknown, neither one changed the results described below. When I made the above changes, I ran the virt-install script. It starts and outputs the following: Starting install... Creating domain... | 0 B 00:00 Running text console command: virsh --connect qemu:///system console testFedora Connected to domain 'testFedora' Escape character is ^] (Ctrl + ]) At this point the shell script hangs. virt-manager shows the vm has been created and is running, but the boot process seems to not have started. I can use the spice protocol in virt-manager to open a console to the vm, but the console shows no activity and seems unresponsive. If I hit <enter> in the shell or inside virt-manager nothing happens. Or if if enter the escape character inside the shell or inside virt- manager, nothing happens. Has anyone successfully tried this documented procedure with the G/A release of Fedora Server? John Himpel

F37 rc 1.6 - different kernel versions for Server DVD and net install?
by Peter Boy 05 Nov '22

05 Nov '22

I just tested installation of the various Fedora Server Edition installation media as of F37 rc 1.6. Arm image, Server KVM image and Server standard install (DVD) installed kernel 6.0.6-300.fc37. Only net install installed kernel 5.19.16-301.fc37 (which was installed by rc 1.4 or 1.5 if I remember correctly). A check of the installation file resulted „ok“. Is there a particular reason? Or I am the only one? And netinstall doesn’t preselect the correct download source anymore, but asked to "Confirm Selection“ and complained about "Error setting up base repository“ (local media is preselected which doesn’t include it, of course) It is easy to correct, but not as comfortable as it used to be, and not as it should be according to our quality item list. Is there a chance to correct the net installation medium?
