Installation of Xubuntu 13.10 beta2, also observed with Xubuntu 13.10 beta1 and
Ubuntu 13.10 beta1.
Installation on Asus Eeee PC 1000H.
After partitioning (default options) a popup with this text appears:
Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda1 --
Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes
you made to /dev/sda1 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or
use it in any way before rebooting.
I tried to update the partition information manually without success:
# partprobe /dev/sda
Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda1 --
Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made
to /dev/sda1 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way
before rebooting.
Error: Failed to add partition 1 (Device or resource busy)
I checked the status of /dev/sda:
# fuser -v /dev/sda
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/sda: root 4051 F.... parted_server
So parted_server wrongly keeps /dev/sda open.
After pressing "Ignore" button in the popup the same message appears for
/dev/sda2.
After pressing "Ignore" button again the following message appears:
The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)
failed.
Then the parted_server does not keep /dev/sda open any more and the
kernel partition table (/proc/partitions) is partially updated
(/dev/sda5). After running partprobe /dev/sda the kernel partition table
is updated completely (sda1, sda2, sda5).
After pressing OK in the last pop-up, the installer returns to the
"Installation type" window. After pressing "Install now" the
installation normally continues.
