[Bug 1220165] Re: Error informing the kernel about modificatons

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package parted - 2.3-16ubuntu1

---------------
parted (2.3-16ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  [ Phillip Susi ]
  * debian/patches/avoid-disturbing-partitions.patch: remove all old
    partitions (that are not unchanged) first, then add new ones.  This
    avoids an EBUSY trying to add new partitions that overlap with old ones
    that have a higher number (LP: #1220165).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Slight tweak to the above to continue to handle entirely unchanged
    partitions properly.

Title:
  Error informing the kernel about modificatons

Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When installing the desktop powerpc image, the installer comes up with
  an error message:

  "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partitino /dev/sda3
  - Device or resource busy.  This means Linuxc won't know about any
  changes you made to /dev/sda3 until you reboot - so you shouldn't
  mount it or use it in any way before rebooting."

  I made no changes.  The installer comes up with this error all on its
  own right before the "Where are you?" screen.
