The "error 16: Device or resource busy." indicates that you had those partitions mounted before fdisk, so you can get arbitrary corruption from the kernel writing out old FS data to your disk. This is unrelated to fdisk. you must umount before fdisk/mkfs
Or reboot after fdisk as suggested, .. or use parted, which isn't as strict wrt mounted partitions (uses different logic to inform the kernel about partition table changes). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
