| Platform | Nutanix / VMware | OS | AlmaLinux | OS Version | 9.2 and 9.3 |
| Summary | 0000465: Cannot install from ISO with custom main partition name of "disk" | ||||
| Description | Trying to change the name of the main Volume Group to "disk" results in installation failure | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | - Launch from AlmaLinux 9.2 or 9.3 ISO to set up a new install - Select "Install AlmaLinux 9.x" - Select language - Select "Installation Destination" - Change "Storage Configuration" to "Custom" > (click Done) - In the "Manual Paritioning" window that appears, under "Volume Group," click "Modify..." - Change this name to "disk" - Click Apply changes > Confirm/Apply in the window that appears - (Optional: Configure other settings as necessary for the environment) - Click "Begin Installation" - Error will appear within the first few seconds of installation | ||||
| Additional Information | We encountered this today when attempting to launch a new AlmaLinux 9.2 as well as 9.3 server from ISO image on our virtual server cluster. We have several existing scripts that rely on the main volume group being named "/dev/disk" without a lot of refactoring. The default configuration of the image deployment is set to "/dev/almalinux". Installing in this manner from AlmaLinux 8.7 ISO works just fine. Issue only happens on 9+. | ||||
