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 | | -- Cyril Brulebois <[email protected]> Thu, 13 Jul 2017 17:36:02 +0200 Thanks for considering. KiBi.
