When I try to setup LVM I get this error: Can't open /dev/sda3 exclusively. Mounted filesystem? The filesystem however is not mounted. If I try to put on the partition a filesystem, no matter what I choose, I alwais end up with the following error: /dev/sda3 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here.
