Hello All
Not knowing what Devon writes below, I first tried partitioning as before but
it insisted on including the swap partition to be reformatted and ultimately
failed. Tried another tactic: deleted the swap partition leaving only two
partitions for / and /boot mount points. Thus the list of partitions to be
reformated did NOT include the partition already being used for swap. This
time it made the same two warnings about hda being busy with the only option
to press ignore and also pointed out that there was no swap. Told it to get
on with it. After a bit it again twice showed the same busy warning but when
told to go on, it did!
Of course, upon rebooting...
Might there be a swapoff procedure? If there is that could be done in vt2
just before picking "ok" in vt1 for fdisk to commit.
