** Description changed: + [Impact] + This prevents the installation process for completing for ppc64el systems due to / not having sufficient space for installing kernel modules. + + [Test Case] + See below "Steps to reproduce" + + [Regression Potential] + Minimal. This changes the recipe used for the initial partitioning of disks when the multi recipe is picked. Multi is not the default recipe, and this simply merges the / and /usr partitions so that /usr will be contained on the same partition as / rather than being on a separate partition (and thus mounted onto /). Possible issues might be that remaining space for the partition will be slightly lower than it would be for the two separate partitions. + + --- + == Comment: #0 - SACHIN P.
