Bug#868243: jessie-pu: package partman-ext3/84+deb8u1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: jessie
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
Hi,
It's high time we fix this issue in jessie: failing to pass the “force”
flag when using mkfs leads to hangs in d-i. It's been fixed in stretch
but not backported to jessie yet. Relevant bug reports according to my
notes: #767682, #778922, #774525, #767682.
Changelog entry:
| partman-ext3 (84+deb8u1) jessie; urgency=low
|
| [ Christian Perrier ]
| * Force ext3|ext4 filesystem creation with "-F" so that D-I doesn't
| "hang" when re-using an existing partition in some situations.
| Closes: #767682

KiBi.
