Comment 2 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2011-01-28 08:04:15 UTC
Happens when selecting "Use all space"

Comment 3 Brian Lane 2011-02-03 00:05:56 UTC
Did you do anything unusual? This error should only show up when you have changed partitions on a drive that has other partitions already mounted.

Comment 5 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2011-02-03 08:46:26 UTC
Nope just stock live usb other than selected Icelandic Keyboard layout and the timezone for Iceland it's an stock next next next install with Basic storage and "Use all space" selected which triggered this.

Comment 6 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2011-02-03 09:02:35 UTC
This is an Dell Inspiron 6000 with 60GiB drive.

Note I did notice some other weirdness happening when partitioning I tested this the second time with the default storage option selected as in Basic storage and remove linux partition that when Anaconda proceeded without actually touching the previously created partitions as in Anaconda started creating /dev/sda{3,4,5} instead of the usual /dev/sda{1,2,3} not sure if that related/relevant to this bug thou.

Comment 7 Brian Lane 2011-02-04 06:16:16 UTC
Duping to an older bug. I think this is an anaconda problem, libparted is complaining that the device is still active when it tries to partition it.
