If i want to use btrfs as filesystem for root and /home, partitioning fails with error message: partman: /dev/sda1 appears to contain an existing filesystem (ext4). partman: Error: Use the -f option to force overwrite. If i try to format /dev/sda1 on terminal with: # mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda1 the same error message appears If i format /dev/sda1 on terminal with -f: # mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sda1 Formating was successfully.
