Public bug reported: == Comment: #0 - Michael Roesch - 2016-02-11 05:08:12 == An LVM-partitioned DASD cannot be formatted if you have not chosen to do so on first-time selecting the DASD for installation.
Reproduction: - Select DASD (which I used for an installation with LVM before) - Format the Device -> no - Finish - Partitioning method: manual - Menu "Partition disks": DASD 0.0.5d32 (ECKD) - 7.4 GB IBM S390 DASD drive > #1 500.0 MB ext2 > #2 6.9 GB K lvm > 49.2 kB FREE SPACE LVM VG rootVG, LV rootLV - 6.9 GB Linux device-mapper (linear) > #1 6.9 GB ext4 - Go Back - Select "Configure direct access storage devices (DASD)" - Select previous DASD again; DASD is displayed as 0.0.5d32 (online) - Format the device -> Yes - Error: Installation step failed An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Configure direct access storage devices (DASD) /proc/partitions looks like this: major minor #blocks name 1 0 40000 ram0 1 1 40000 ram1 1 2 40000 ram2 1 3 40000 ram3 1 4 40000 ram4 1 5 40000 ram5 1 6 40000 ram6 1 7 40000 ram7 1 8 40000 ram8 1 9 40000 ram9 1 10 40000 ram10 1 11 40000 ram11 1 12 40000 ram12 1 13 40000 ram13 1 14 40000 ram14 1 15 40000 ram15 94 0 7212240 dasda 94 1 488304 dasda1 94 2 6723792 dasda2 252 0 6721536 dm-0 I have attached the syslog that was created during my test. == Comment: #8 - Hendrik Brueckner <[email protected]> - 2016-02-26 03:19:28 == Opened the below Debian bug report and attached the problem fixes: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815918 ** Affects: s390-dasd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Skipper Bug Screeners (skipper-screen-team) Status: New ** Tags: architecture-s39064 bugnameltc-136945 severity-medium targetmilestone-inin1604 ** Tags added: architecture-s39064 bugnameltc-136945 severity-medium targetmilestone-inin1604 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550443 Title: LVM-partitioned DASD cannot be formatted when returning from "Partition disk" screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/s390-dasd/+bug/1550443/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
