Re: Bug#767682: D-I: installer hangs on re-formatting ext4 partition (having grub in the partition boot record).
Hi!
Coming back to the discussion after having re-assigned the bug to the
partman-ext3 package. First of all, this particular bug was reported
in Ubuntu as well [1], so I have linked this bug report to the LP bug
report.
Secondly, I would like to discuss here what is keeping us from adding
"-F" to the mkfs.$filesystem call in 50format_ext3. I am currently
not seeing any obvious, but I might just be missing something here.
However, since we are using "-f" (the btrfs equivalent to mkfs.ext3's
"-F") in partman-btrfs [2], I see no apparent reason not to use it if
it helps resolving problems people are seeing on certain architectures
and partition setups.
Cheers,
Adrian
