------- Comment From [email protected] 2016-06-01 07:28 EDT------- Hi everyone,
unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce the error here. However, with some additional data, we might be able to track it down. Can you please mount the MDISK in question in raw-track-access mode and copy the first 2-3 tracks so that we can see if there is any data in the label information on the disk that dasdfmt doesn't like? Here is how you can do it in the restricted installer environment: # Set device offline $ echo 0 > /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.0200/online # Enable raw-track-access $ echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.0200/raw_track_access # Set device online $ echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.0200/online # Copy the first few tracks using dd (assuming it is dasda, look at /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.0200/block to be certain ) $ dd if=/dev/dasda of=dasda_first_tracks bs=4096 count=30 You won't be able to scp the file to another machine (at least I wasn't) so you might want to attach another disk where you can copy the file to. Furthermore, it would be very helpful, if you could get 'strace' running within the installer and attach any trace here. Strace should be able to tell us where dasdfmt is crashing.
