mkfs.btrfs fails to create btrfs filesystem
Last modified: 2013-09-10 11:15:25 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 To create a test installation using openSUSE-Factory-NET-x86_64-Build0687 as installation media I used the installaton systems expert partitioner to remove the existing partition /dev/sda6 and created a new partition /dev/sda6 with the same size (approx. 184 GB) with btrfs filesystem. After starting the installation an error message pops up saying: Bei der folgenden Aktion ist ein Fehler aufgetreten: Partition /dev/sda6 (183.79 GB) wird mit btrfs formatiert Der Systemfehlercode lautet -3008 /sbin/mkbtrfs '/dev/sda6' Error: error checking /dev/sda6 mount status Trotz des Fehlers fortfahren ? Switching to the installation systems command line at that point shows that /dev/sda6 is definitely not mounted and that you can also trigger that error from the command line ( trying to run /sbin/mkbtrfs /dev/sda6 ) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start the expert partitioner 2.delete an existing partition and create a new one in place 3. choose btrfs as filesystem Actual Results: mkfs.btrfs fails to ceate the filesystem on that partition Expected Results: mkfs.btrfs should create a btrfs filesystem
