From the logs: /usr/sbin/parted -s '/dev/hda' unit cyl mkpart logical ext2 4961 6135 Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/hda5 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/hda5 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.

/usr/sbin/parted -s '/dev/hda' unit cyl mkpart logical ext2 4961 6135
Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/hda5 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/hda5 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.
When I last saw this error, it was caused by the 'desynchronization' between on-disk partition table and it's representation as seen by the kernel (/proc/partitions). This does not seem to be the same case since 'parted print' and 'cat /proc/partitions' report the same partition layout on /dev/hda before the first parted warning. Another strange thing is that despite parted's warning the kernel seems to be well informed about new partition (it shows up in /proc/partitions). Looking into the kernel sources shows that the only thing that may trigger this error (ioctl() returning EBUSY) are overlapping partitions... Any ideas? -- 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.

The above is not true - there are also other codepaths that I've missed previously. Nothing that might help to diagnose what's wrong here, though. -- 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.

I used the factory mirror that the factory iso itself discovered over the network for the packages. I was unable to verify this change because factory is tipping over during the resize (failing before we get to this problem). I'll go search for bugs on that and possibly file one. In the mean time, I'd be happy to verify this change in the future if someone pings me. Now that I have the virtualized procedure set up, testing this issue isn't terribly time consuming. I have a bit of a passion for this problem because I fell in love with how easy opensuse made it to resize the windows partition and I'd like to see it work end-to-end.
