Comment # 12 on bug 957046 from Stefan Hundhammer

I am fresh out of ideas.

I don't see any hint of the problem in the logs. The initial storage proposal
was really strange; I have no idea why it proposed anything like that:

        Remove volume group external [destructive]
        Set type of partition /dev/sdc1 to 107
        Create swap volume /dev/sdc2 (7.84 MiB)
        Use /dev/sda2-vg/lvol0 as swap

Removing a volume group to make space for a new installation makes sense. But I
don't see where it even tries to create anything new for the new system: No
partition, no volume group. Nothing. I would expect someting like 

    Create volume group /dev/system
    Create logical volume /dev/system root with Btrfs at /

But that's completely missing. Also setting the paritition type of /dev/sdc1 to
107 (0x107 really -- the 0x is missing in that output) does not make any sense:
That's partition type GPT_BIOS. That would effectively destroy the LUKS
encryption layer on that partition, and it would not be usable for a Linux root
filesystem.

Creating a tiny 7.84 MB swap partition on that disk is just a minor annoyance;
that amount of additional swap space wouldn't really help at all. But it's
trying to use some leftover disk space.


So, all in all this storage proposal is quite useless, so the only option after
this was to use the expert partitioner.
