[Bug 224929] New: mkfs on new created partition fails because evms keeps it busy
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.

Evms partition names doe not match kernel partition names. Therefore YaST2 frees the wrong DM maps from EVMS usage und therefore the partition cannot be formatted. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 219788 *** -- 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.
