Package: debian-installer Version: jessie_di_alpha_1 Severity: normal http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/jessie_di_alpha_1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-jessie-DI-a1-amd64-netinst.iso
I just downloaded the Debian installer from the above URL and installed to a BTRFS root filesystem on a partition that previously had BTRFS. It aborted and on virtual console 4 had the following messages: partman: /dev/sda2 appears to contain an existing filesystem (btrfs). partman: Error: Use the -f option to force overwrite. I opened a shell and ran "cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda2" and after overwriting the start of that partition I used the installer to successfully complete that stage. As the Debian installer had already asked me if I wanted to format the partition I think it should either have used the -f option by default. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
