fails in sysinstall Fdisk Label

Posted by: admin at 1 Monday 30th, 2009

[w] I receive the following message in the press, not updated 
 You've already written out your changes - if you wish to overwrite them, you'll have to restart sysinstall first.
Changes are already written. If you want to overwrite it, first you need to restart sysinstall.
So that, sysinstall restart.
LiveFS CD from when you use fixit mode, you must restart the system.

Can not unmount
The sysinstall and run the Fdisk Label menu, just create a partition slice DE無KU will automatically mount the mount point.
Fixit may receive an error message like: you try to unmount mode. 
 Fixit# umount /mnt
umount: umount of /mnt failed: Device busy
Please check the following.
The current directory, the directory is not trying to unmount? 
 Fixit# pwd
/mnt
In this case, move to another directory. 
 Fixit# cd /

The directory you are trying to unmount, or do not have another mount? 
 Fixit# ls /mnt
.snap/  dev/    home/   usr/    var/
In this case, in order to unmount. 
 Fixit# umount /mnt/var
Fixit# umount /mnt/usr
Fixit# umount /mnt/home
Fixit# umount /mnt/dev
Fixit# umount /mnt

Strange to me
Please try the following steps to be done.
  1. exit sysinstall (LiveFS CD if you boot from a boot fixit mode) and then mount the partition if it is created, and then unmount. 
     Fixit# ls /mnt
.snap/  dev/    home/   usr/    var/
 
     Fixit# cd /
Fixit# umount /mnt/var
Fixit# umount /mnt/usr
Fixit# umount /mnt/home
Fixit# umount /mnt/dev
Fixit# umount /mnt

  2. Make sure the swap partition. 
     Fixit# swapinfo
Device          1K-blocks      Used     Avail Capacity
 /dev/ad0s1b        1048576         0   1048576     0%
    If you see the device name, stop it being used by the swap partition. 
     Fixit# swapoff  /dev/ad0s1b
    (Underlined part is the device name that appears in swapinfo)

  3. Start sysinstall (LiveFS CD if you start from a restart).
