In Sep 2025, delivered a stability fix for iSCSI discovery in rhinstaller/anaconda by broadening exception handling to catch a general Exception to accommodate the transition from blivet.safe_dbus to dasbus and ongoing library evolution. This reduces risk of discovery failures across environments and accelerates enterprise deployment readiness.

February 2025: Stabilized storage/configuration workflows in Anaconda and expanded partitioning capabilities to support modern hardware and automated deployments. Implemented controlled LVM activation during installation to disable auto-activation and revert on shutdown, enabling manual activation by blivet. Upgraded and stabilized RAID command handling in kickstart with F43_Raid and persistent array naming for reliable subsequent commands. Enabled EFI FAT resizing by adding libblockdev-tools as a dependency, facilitating creation of EFI System Partitions. Performed dependency/tooling housekeeping (Blivet upgrade to 3.12, removal of ntfs-3g based on kernel module availability, and rpmlint adjustments) to reduce install-time friction and improve maintainability.
