Comment 1 David Lehman 2010-11-19 15:58:11 UTC
blkid says that mmcblk0 contains an ext3 filesystem. Since mmcblk0p1 also exists there must be evidence of both a partition table and an ext3 filesystem on the device. Reassigning to blkid...

Comment 2 Karel Zak 2010-11-25 09:51:08 UTC
blkid does not check for collision between partition table and filesystem. The device should be properly partitioned/formatted to avoid ambivalent probing results.

Please, use the wipefs(8) command to remove the filesystem from the device or use parted(8) to remove the partition table from the device.

(I'm not sure what is expected on the device -- you can also zeroize whole device by dd(1) or cat /dev/zero > <device>. Be careful to not lost any data.)

That's strange that anaconda does not allow to clean up the device.

Comment 3 Karel Zak 2012-02-21 18:34:41 UTC
Please, reopen if you're able to reproduce this problem on Fedora 16 or Fedora 17. Thanks.
