There has always been such an issue with mkfs.btrfs AFAIR, but it can more or less work depending on the distribution etc... In the past, some versions of mkfs.btrfs had a "-f" option that would force formatting even if this test failed, but alas this option seems to have disappeared... PartedMagic being a "live CD", it might be easy to reproduce and check what, exactly, goes wrong ? Kind regards. -- Swâmi Petaramesh http://petaramesh.org PGP 9076E32E Ne cherchez pas : Je ne suis pas sur Facebook.
