In fact mkfs.ext3 asks a question when asked to create a filesystem on /dev/sda (not on /dev/vda though!) /dev/sda is entire device, not just one partition! Proceed anyway? (y,n) The way forward is to special-case this by running mke2fs (not mkfs) with the -F option. Fixed upstream: http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=227bea6c7ef89b707fe2c01c4d0d0fb9081e8c04 This one is also needed for RHEL 5: http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=a0e3b2183733c7440ad017c4ffe361935672339b |
