Description Franz Holzinger 2012-08-06 10:59:45 CEST

I want to change the filesystem of a partition /dev/sda5.
Then I select ext4 or ReiserFs. This is also shown correctly in the display. THe formatting of the partition always fails. I can press to save the new fstab. However the file system is always set to ext2. 


And it then fails to rewrite the boot manager. I have written a separate bug report for this.

Is this during installation?  If so, which iso image is being used?

This is with an already installed Mageia 2 x86_64 from the DVD .

Comment 3 Dave Hodgins 2012-08-10 10:01:01 CEST

Bug confirmed.  I have now recreated the problem with format failed,
but it isn't a bug in diskdrake.  It's either in util-linux or
the kernel.

[root@x2 ~]# grep sda9 /proc/mounts
/dev/sda9 /test reiserfs rw,noatime,notail,user_xattr 0 0
[root@x2 ~]# umount /dev/sda9
[root@x2 ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda9
mke2fs 1.42.2 (27-Mar-2012)
/dev/sda9 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!
[root@x2 ~]# grep sda9 /proc/mounts
[root@x2 ~]#

From uname -a
3.3.6-desktop-2.mga2
Same thing happens with 3.3.8.

Can someone from the bugsquad assign this to the util-linux
maintainer.

More info, and why I didn't see it before ...

[root@x2 ~]# umount /dev/sda9
[root@x2 ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda9

Only seems to be a problem umounting reiserfs filesystems.

Changing the summary to reflect the problem.

Summary: drakdisk fails to change the file system => umount of resierfs filesystem doesn't free device
