Hi! Coming back to the discussion after having re-assigned the bug to the partman-ext3 package. First of all, this particular bug was reported in Ubuntu as well [1], so I have linked this bug report to the LP bug report.
Secondly, I would like to discuss here what is keeping us from adding "-F" to the mkfs.$filesystem call in 50format_ext3. I am currently not seeing any obvious, but I might just be missing something here. However, since we are using "-f" (the btrfs equivalent to mkfs.ext3's "-F") in partman-btrfs [2], I see no apparent reason not to use it if it helps resolving problems people are seeing on certain architectures and partition setups. Cheers, Adrian > [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/partman-ext3/+bug/498133 > [2] http://sources.debian.net/src/partman-btrfs/20/commit.d/format_btrfs/#L62 -- .''`.
