Description PC LX 2013-04-23 16:23:00 CEST

I think I've found an issue with the partitioning tool in the Mageia 3 RC (Mageia-3-RC-Boot-nonfree-x86_64-CD.iso).

Description:

When trying to create a encrypted LVM partition a dialog window with the message "Undefined subroutine &lvm::detect_during_install called." is displayed and a encrypted ext4 partition is created, instead of a encrypted LVM partition as it should be.


Actual Results:

Encrypted ext4 partition is created.


Expected Results:

Encrypted LVM partition is created.


Steps to Reproduce:

Please see attached video with a screen cast showing the steps that lead to the issue.
Always reproducible, at least in the several times I have tried.


Build Date & Hardware:

I have installed in a VirtualBox VM (to record the screen cast) but the issue also happens directly on the hardware.

$ rpm -q VirtualBox-4.2
VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.12_84980_mdv2010.0-1


Additional Information / Workaround:

It is possible to create a encrypted LVM partition by first creating a encrypted ext4 partition (other file systems may also work) and then, in advanced mode, changing the type to LVM.


Regards.

Colin, should it be fixed in RC or did it get fixed after RC was released?

@Sander, this actually looks like a problem we introduced when fixing bug #5661.

@PC LX: Awesome video. Very helpful.

I'll look into why this is a problem.

Hmm, crap, it seems I added it in r7963.

Thierry, can you see what's wrong with that? Is it just missing a "use lvm;" at the top of perl-install/diskdrake/interactive.pm?  It worked in my tests... but those tests already included an existing LVM volume so I guess the module was loaded via other means under those circumstances.
