Package: debian-installer Version: Daily build #2 on 2008-10-20 Severity: important
Installing on a dell P3 server with four drives, install fails when attempting to write lvm filesystem config. It fails immediately with: Failed to create a file system The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of LVM VG foo, LV home failed On tty4 I see: partman: /dev/mapper/foo-home is apparently in use by the system: will not make a filesystem here! The setup prior to the failure: * 2 non-raid bootable 512M partitions (one mounted on /boot, one unused) * 2 non-raid 512M partitions (both unused) * 4 raid 17G partitions assigned to encrypted volume * encrypted volume assign to lvm * lvm has logical volumes called: root, swap, tmp, log, var, usr, and home * everything but swap is ext3 and given a mount point On tty2, when I run `ls /dev/mapper` I see each LV has two devices the extra node ends with "p1". For example, there is /dev/mapper/foo-home and /dev/mapper/foo-homep1. When I run `mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/foo-home` it fails with the message above, "/dev/mapper/foo-home is apparently in use by the system: will not make a filesystem here!" OTOH, when I run `mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/foo-homep1` it succeeds. Hmmm. I haven't met these "p1" nodes before, so I'm stuck This failure is reproducible with a cold shutdown and restart. Last note, there was a raid10 md device on this system, which I deleted using partman. On my last attempt, after a cold restart, partman did not detect any raid devices. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
