Hi Fabiand,=0A=0AI have a iSCSI partition on my stateless node. But the pro=
blem is I can't format the partition. The same partition can be formatted a=
nd mounted on a regular machine without problems.=A0=0A=0A[root@localhost ~=
]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda=0Amke2fs 1.42.7 (21-Jan-2013)=0A/dev/sda is entire de=
vice, not just one partition!=0AProceed anyway? (y,n) y=0A/dev/sda is appar=
ently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!=0A=0A=0AThe er=
ror message doesn't seem to make sense as the iSCSI partition isn't used by=
any other machine. =A0=0A=0AAny idea why this isn't working in a stateless=
