What command tells you that it is busy? How are you doing it? Maybe the desktop attempts to automount it, so try in level 3, or with a non-clever desktop.
--- the "mkfs.xfs" command claimed it was busy (as run from an 'ssh' session -- no desktop". Rebooting was required to clear the problem state -- which is rather bothersome. But now, I'm getting blinking 'orange' fault lights in the drive trays where the new drives are -- even though the LSI Megaraid management SW, claims they are in good health. Message on the front LCD says that all of them have a "fault", and to review and clear the SEL (System Event Log). Coincidentally I just figured out how to list and clear the the SEL using ipmiutil -- that doesn't seem to clear the fault-- rebooting does... for about 3 minutes... then the fault is reasserted. Meanwhile, I can partition the new drive and had the LSI SW do a complete consistency check -- came up fine. I have a icky feeling that it's a bug or problem in the system bios, but I checked and there are no newer ones. Very weird. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
