When trying to format (virtual) disk in Fedora 19 Live I get error: Error wiping device: Command-line `wipefs -a "/dev/vda"' exited with non-zero exit status 1: wipefs: error: /dev/vda: probing initialization failed: Device or resource busy (udisks-error-quark, 0) Fedora 19 Live activates lvm, but it is not recognized by gnome-disk-utility.

In other words, sometimes it is useful to be able to erase a disk which contains LVM partitions. However, gnome-disk-utility displays just a weird warning. It should either deactivate the volume group and erase the disk, or tell us (or somehow display) that the LVM partitions are in use (even though not mounted) and the user needs to manually deactivate the volume group first.

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This also happens in Fedora 21.
