David,

Can you let me know the details of the machine/storage. 

/dev/mapper/35000c4001a65f8db The short device name leads me to believe a possible unusable lun thats unmasked from a san. Can you verify and get me details on that lun/disk?

Comment 2 David Naori 2012-01-30 16:21:25 UTC
its actually a Dell Desktop

System Information:
        Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
        Product Name: OptiPlex 780 

with a local sata hd.

Comment 4 Mike Burns 2012-02-01 14:51:21 UTC
multiple attempts to reproduce this on both similar and different hardware have not succeeded.  Analysis points to this being related to dmraid, but that's not determined yet.  

This should not block ovirt release.

David, can you try to reproduce this error with this (quite frsh) build: http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-node/130/artifact/ovirt-node-image-2.3.0-0.130.fc16.git4400d96.iso

I'll replace David for this reproduction.
I get 404 for the iso link, could you please verify the path?

The project got renamed a couple of days ago.
Here is an updated link

I've installed from: http://jenkins.ovirt.org/view/ovirt_node/job/ovirt-node-stable/130/artifact/ovirt-node-image-2.3.0-0.130.fc16.git4400d96.iso

As a note: I wasn't able to reproduce this.

Looking at the log it seems as if the gpt partition is created, but also the following appears quite often:

device-mapper: remove ioctl failed: Device or resource busy
Warning: parted was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/mapper/35000c5001a65f8db (No such file or directory).  This means Linux won't know anything about the modifications you made.

Warning: parted was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/mapper/35000c5001a65f8db (Device or resource busy).  This means Linux won't know anything about the modifications you made. 

This could mean that grub just see the freshly labeled disk.

Could you give us some informations about the storage device - e.g. drivers used. lsmod, lscpci or a smolt profile.

Comment 15 Joey Boggs 2012-03-22 13:18:55 UTC
Can you retry with the latest iso, there was a change in the grub setup that should resolve this error:

Comment 16 Rami Vaknin 2012-03-22 15:25:54 UTC
Now installation passed successfully (when using the iso from: http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-node-iso/)

Comment 17 Mike Burns 2012-03-23 11:48:24 UTC
Awesome, thanks!
