Package: installation-reports Severity: important When attempting to format entire disk (LOOP partition type) to ext4 format process hangs at 30% or so. I figured out that it runs mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda which prompts whether I realy want to format entire disk.
Solution to this problem is to add option "-F" to mkfs. I did it by modifying file /lib/partman/commit.d/50format_ext3 line starting with "mkfs.$filesystem $device ..." to "mkfs.$filesystem -F $device ..." My fix worked. -- Package-specific info: Boot method: CD Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.7.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-7.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso Date: <Date and time of the install> Machine: QEMU virtual machine Partitions: <df -Tl will do; the raw partition table is preferred> Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [ ] Detect network card: [ ] Configure network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: <Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.> -- Please make sure that the hardware-summary log file, and any other installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report.
