Following our previous post, we are pleased to announced that the first (pre-release) CentOS 7rc tree is pushed.
As a reminder, you can find it at the following location : http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64-20140614/
If you want to use it, you need to use the boot.iso media (found under the images directory) , start a netinstall and point to the mentioned repository (or use the pxe vmlinuz/initrd.img files)
We plan on also having a symbolic link called "latest", as we'll probably have a new tree on a daily basis (until we're happy and will have a final release)
Some points to keep in mind :
* Those packages aren't signed (as announced, and that will be fixed the final centos-release package) * There is no included yum config (but you can configure that and point to the above repository , and that will be fixed the final centos-release package ) * EFI should work, but not Secureboot
Happy testing and don't forget to give us feedback ! (on the centos-devel list, or #centos-devel irc channel, and bugs found reported on http://bugs.centos.org)

Hi Fabian,
Thank you. The first impression is good and the installation process on a VM works fine for me.
RHEL 7.0 uses xfs as default fs. But the first centos7rc automatically selects ext4 as default fs during the installation. Maybe a small bug?
Best regards,
Morten

Where does this selection take place in the code ?

I think it's defined in pyanaconda/installclasses/rhel.py:
class InstallClass(BaseInstallClass): ... defaultFS = "xfs"
Please check: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/anaconda.git/tree/pyanaconda/installclasse...

excellent, that should be fixed in the next build ( scheduled for Monday the 16th ) - could you please file a bugreport at bugs.centos.org against anaconda please ?

xfs as default, eh? What's the reasoning behind that? (not really relevant for this list, I guess, but presumably there will have been some public discussion?)

R.
Well, the reason we want it is because it is the default for RHEL ... why it is the default for RHEL ... look here:

should have, but isnt working - I had tested it on a local instance before the push, but it turns out that the machine I was using didnt really honour EFI, and just fell back to BIOS mode.
Anssi Johansson confirmed, EFI is indeed broken in this build.

Is there any rsync target I can pull down?
