reassign 823996 partman-ext3 fixed 823996 86 thanks Quoting Daniel R. Warner (drwarner@lakeheadu.ca): > Package: partconf > Version: 1.47 > Severity: normal > > Dear Maintainer, > > When installing into a partition previously containing a 'dos extended' partition table, even if the partition was deleted and recreated, mkfs.ext4 (and likely other mkfs.[filesystem] utilities do not proceed, instead d-i effectively freezes. > This is because mkfs is asking for confirmation to create a new FS over top of partition structure. > > Can be solved by manually creating fs and rerunning d-i. > Could also be solved by partconf 0'ing out the first few sectors of an extended partition when it is deleted. > > This was tested and reproduced using the jessie 8.4 netinst image. This is solved by mkfs -F in partman-ext3. See #767682
