Description Wilken Gottwalt 2005-09-13 09:14:52 UTC

I connected an 150GB USB2.0 harddisk, which allready had a partition on it. This
one got mounted in /media. I went into Yast and deleted the partition (Yast
didn't  say anything about the partition is still mounted) and made a crypto
partition with reiserfs. Yast hang during making the filesystem and the kernel
made a oops.

mkfs* should use O_EXCL
