When it writes the partition data, I always get this error from partman:
The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disk (Device or resource busy).
That is the usb device I booted the installer from, and I did not tell
partman to do anything with it (nor does it), so I do not know why it
displays this message.
Anton says:
Currently partman doesn't keep track which devices were changed nor
when they have been changed. It reads the partition tables of all of
them and then writes them back even if there have been no changes in
some of the partition tables.
I have to think for the proper way to fix this. If some partition is
used as a component of LVM or RAID volume then partman should disallow
any changes to the containing partition table. Currently there is no
protection against this.
