Dear all,
When I try to create an new volume using the createvolume command I get the following error:
>>> Formatting volume...
mke2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
mkfs.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to determine filesystem size
!!! ERROR - command 'mkfs.ext3 -F /dev/sdz' failed with status 1
Despite that the command itself does not terminate with an error (below the complete trace).
But when I try to start a cluster instance using that volume, it will not be attached.
Is this a bug or I'm missing something ?
Thank you,
Paolo
