[setup_storage] parted non-zero exit code

[Jurrie Overgoor]

Hi everyone,




Now, I get the error:
Executing: parted -s /dev/sda mklabel msdos
Command had non-zero exit code

Manually giving the command gives a bit more info, parted outputs:
Error: Partition(s) on /dev/sda are being used.



The disk config is like so:






With kind regards,

Jurrie

I have a system with one disk (/dev/sda) which has two partitions: /dev/sda1 is the main system disk; /dev/sda2 is a recoverydisk. The system is initially installed using an USB stick. At the end of the installation, the USB stick is copied to /dev/sda2. Once in a while, I have the system reboot itself from /dev/sda2, to perform a "reset to factory defaults" install. This always went ok, untill recently... I recreated the fai-mirror, made a new fai-cd, and put this on the recoverydisk. This is indeed the case (/dev/sda2 is mounted of course, as it is the partition we install from), but never gave errors, and shouldn't give errors (I think). I supposed it should be possible to install from /dev/sda2 to /dev/sda1. disk_config disk1 disklabel:msdos fstabkey:uuid bootable:1 preserve_lazy:1,2 always_format:1 primary / 5G- ext3 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro createopts="-L root" tuneopts="" primary - 2G ext3 rw,noatime createopts="-L recoverydisk" tuneopts="" setup-storage is version 1.3. (Dpkg version is fai-setup-storage 3.4.7.) I'm using Debian Squeeze. (If anyone needs more info, I'd be happy to supply it of course.) Again: this used to work, and now it doesn't. Please help me, I'm kinda desperate :)
