https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224929 Summary: mkfs on new created partition fails because evms keeps it busy Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 4 Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: yast2-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: olh@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com 10.2rc3 on apple.suse.de error code -3008: "/dev/sda8 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!" mkfs fails because sda8 is busy. Booting with YAST2_STORAGE_NO_EVMS=xyz fixes it. steps to reproduce: - boot MacOS 9 CD on apple.suse.de - initialize sda with 'Drive Setup' this will create a single HFS partition sda6 - drag the CD volume onto the new created volume just to overwrite all remaining metadata, it will copy around 450MB - boot into 10.2rc3, in partitioner select sda whole disk in yast partitioner. this will split sda6 into a HFS partition and 2 ext3 partitions. mkfs will fail with rc3, but not with rc2. logs from rc2 and rc3 attached. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
