https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214632 Summary: unable to format partition with ext2 while installing Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bg@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I just tried to do a default installation with EVMS. The harddisk has been cleaned of any partitions before starting. All I get is the message: mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006) /dev/hda1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here! Creating a reiser filesystem on the same partition is no problem.
