I have Ubuntu server 8.10 [64-bit] on a RAID 10 Array (amlost) I followed the guide to partioning my HDDs found here and all was well until I tried to follow the guide for Minimal Ubuntu Server Install I get Code: mkfs.xfs: cannot open /dev/sda2: Device or resource busy when I enter Code: mkfs.xfs /dev/sda2 I have partitioned [4] 1TB drives just like the guide says using cfdisk: -sda1 50MB boot; sda2 999000MB Linux raid autodetect; sda3 1000MB swap -sdb1 999000MB Linux raid autodetect; sdb2 1000MB swap -sdc1 999000MB Linux raid autodetect; sdc2 1000MB swap -sdd1 999000MB Linux raid autodetect; sdd2 1000MB swap Any ideas what I need to do?
as it is a raid now you can't access it by /dev/sda2... you need to address the according mapper... very likely it will be /dev/md0.... but you'll have to verify that.
OK I see where there's a problem now. Here's what I did Code: mkfs.xfs /dev/md0 ln /dev/md0 /dev/sde The guide said to do this, what do I do now. Sorry I'm a noob. Thanks, -Jon
Unable to find a way to part as xfs Guys, Please help me in creating a volume with xfs. I tried the below cmd with no luck! CentOS release 6.4 (Final) mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb2 -bash: mkfs.xfs: command not found [root@centos64 1-500]# Thanks in Advance, Swami
