I have got the same problem when using the gnome-live cd. It occured on two different machines: Lenovo Thinkpad T430 with uefi-bios, no secure boot als well as an older desktop with AMD Athlon 64 3200+. So I was curious if that may be a OpenSuse problem and gave it another try using the installation-DVD. It worked without problems on the thinkpad. I did not even have to use an extra boot-partition with ext-fs. On the desktop I was forced to use a boot-partition with ext-3 or 4. Up to now Opensuse runs fine. I suppose, there is a bug on the live-cd. May be a btrfs-tool is missing or some parameters differ from the installation-DVD. regards, Robert Can confirm this bug too. And respected Russian writer Alexey Fedorchuk mentioned this in his review openSUSE 12.3 (http://suseana.ru/?p=856). By the way, we both stumbled on this bug using DVD, a total of two computers and a laptop. Can you retry this with openSUSE 13.1 Beta please? Formatting & using btrfs should be working there. (In reply to comment #0) > /sbin/mkfs.btrfs '/dev/sda8': > error checking /dev/sda8 mount status This looks similar to bug 834173, but this was caused by short-lived update of btrfsprogs that lacked a fix for mount status checks. 12.3 has the patch 0115-btrfs-progs-fixup-is_mounted-checks.patch. (In reply to comment #3) > Can you retry this with openSUSE 13.1 Beta please? Formatting & using btrfs > should be working there. FWIW, this worked for me. If this happened with DVD installation, we can't fix it for 12.3. Installation on 13.1 works as expected. |
Created attachment 527857 [details] My /var/log/YaST2/y2log after using Expert Partitioner 4 times In YaST2 Partitioner, if I try to format a partition with BtrFS, I get the error: "Failure occurred during the following action: Formatting partition /dev/sda8 (19.47 GB) with btrfs System error code was> /3008 /sbin/mkfs.btrfs '/dev/sda8': error checking /dev/sda8 mount status Continue despite the error?" If I click Continue, YaST does not format the partition (if I try to mount it using 'mount /dev/sda8 /mnt' I get an error "mount: unknown filesystem type '(null)'"). However, I can successfully format the same partition as Ext4 or swap in YaST Partitioner. YaST log is attached (I used the YaST Expert Partitioner four times: first I formatted the partition /dev/sda8 with ext4, then tried to format it with btrfs, then again formatted with ext4, then with swap). I am using openSUSE 12.3 RC2 KDE Live CD (from USB stick).
