And it is really not mounted:

Looking at /proc/partitions I identified that /dev/sda1 is "the same" as /dev/dm-6:
8 0 244198584 sda 8 1 244196001 sda1 253 5 244198584 dm-5 253 6 244196001 dm-6
If I try to mount /dev/dm-6, it works:
# mount /dev/dm-6 /mnt # cat /proc/mounts | grep mnt /dev/dm-6 /mnt ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0 #
Something is assigning your disk to device mapper. Therefore the native partition is busy and cannot be mounted.
If I unplug the disk and plug it again, it will be detected as /dev/sdb:
Naturally. sda cannot be freed while dm is connected to it. This is a user space problem. Regards Oliver -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
