Proposed validation test case: root on LVM thinp

[Adam Williamson]

I meant to write this test case anyhow, but today's brown paper bag bug
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1040669 - gives
it a certain sense of importance, so I thought I'd best get it done now.

I wrote
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_anaconda_lvmthinp_rootfs ,
and I propose we add it to the installation validation matrix for F21
and later, with release level Beta, as it matches this criterion:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_20_Beta_Release_Criteria#Guided_partitioning

"When using the guided partitioning flow, the installer must be able
to: ... Complete an installation using any combination of disk
configuration options it allows the user to select"

LVM thinp is now one of the options on the 'filesystem type' dropdown on
the Installation Options screen, which is what 'disk configuration
options' in that criterion is talking about.

Anyone have feedback on the test case, or the proposed inclusion in the
matrices? I based the test case on the ext4 rootfs one but tidied it up
somewhat, and placed stronger restrictions on changing other
configuration during the test; I will probably go through all the
filesystem-y test cases and propose similar changes, if we think that's
a good idea. We should try to make the whole set consistent.
