Can Fedora 28 be installed from an ISO file on an LVM partition?

https://superuser.com/questions/1332708/can-fedora-28-be-installed-from-an-iso-file-on-an-lvm-partition

 

I am attempting a medialess installation of Fedora 28, using an ISO image stored on an LVM partition.

After struggling for a while I found this post which helped a lot, but I am now encountering the following error :

dracut-initqueue; /sbin/iso-scan: line 35: rmdir: command not found

From dracut emergency mode I can see this is triggered by

rmdir "/run/initramfs/isoscan"

(which is created at the beginning of the script).

I guess I could comment this line, however I also found this warning on F20 documentation :

You cannot use ISO files on partitions controlled by LVM (Logical Volume Management).

I don't see this warning for more recent Fedora versions, though. Is it still accurate ?

• FWIW, I ended up using an external disk instead of the LVM partition, and didn't encounter this error. – Skippy le Grand Gourou Jun 21 at 7:25
