Do we know why =E2=80=98mkswap=E2=80=99 exited with code 1, though?  EBUSY =
or could it
be something else?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

Hello Andrew,

> This happens when I use _any_ partitioning scheme, manual or
> automatic.

Thanks for the complete bug report. I think that this bug falls into the
same category as https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47996,
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47567, https://issues.guix.gnu.org/44872 and
probably some others.

The "free-parted" procedure that makes sure that all the partitions are
created and not in use probably fails in some configurations. Otherwise,
I cannot understand why the "mkswap" binary would fail.

We may need to come up with a new procedure that provides stronger
guarantees.

Thanks,

Mathieu

--LpQ9ahxlCli8rRTG
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline

I have attempted to install 1.3.0 from the iso, but the "guided"
install encounters an error after partitioning; which if I read
correctly, indicates swap cannot be created.

This happens when I use _any_ partitioning scheme, manual or
automatic.

The command 'mkswap -f /dev/sda3' executes correctly from the shell
session on tty3 from the installer.

Sadly, this is also fatal and the installation cannot continue, so
I'm a bit surprized no one has reported this - as I can recreate
this situation reliably every time I attempt it.  (Maybe I just am
blind and cannot find the bug report at the guix bug tracker, if
so, my apologies for the duplicate.)

Error file attached.
