Description Axel Braun 2016-01-28 20:28:35 UTC

Wanted to format an external drive with encrypted XFS partition. Result:
Bei der folgenden Aktion ist ein Fehler aufgetreten:  
Partition /dev/sdc2 (3.00 TiB) wird mit xfs formatiert
VOLUME_FORMAT_FAILED  
Der Systemfehlercode lautet: -3008
/sbin/mkfs.xfs -q -f -m crc=1 '/dev/mapper/cr_scsi-35000000000000001-part2':
/bin/sh: /sbin/mkfs.xfs: No such file or directory

Please note that this installation is an upgrade from openSUSE 13.1 - can that be the issue?

Comment 1 Jan Kara 2016-02-01 12:19:49 UTC

Do you have xfsprogs package installed?

Comment 2 Axel Braun 2016-02-01 12:58:49 UTC

(In reply to Jan Kara from comment #1)
> Do you have xfsprogs package installed?

Afterwards, yes :-)
IMHO it should have been installed during the upgrade. Yast has given this as option, without the package being installed

Comment 3 Jan Kara 2016-02-01 13:32:16 UTC

I see, so the problem really is that yast2 offered you to format with XFS while xfsprogs were not installed. I'm reassigning to yast2 team to have a look.

I had the same problem: XFS was offered (and was selected) as filesystem. When yast was about to format the logical volume, there was a failure with a strange error message. The package needed (xfsprogs) had not been installed (as noted).

Looks similar to boo#907331

Comment 6 Christopher Hofmann 2016-02-15 16:27:26 UTC

Known problem - already fixed.
