Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install ubuntu on an external drive. During installation I initially had an error with /dev/sdb being mounted to /cdrom. Sorted that and now installation initiates.
Shortly afterwards it fails with the error:
"The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI5 (0,0,0) (sdb) failed."
I'm installing to the target drive from a live install on that same drive. Partition 1 currently contains the live OS. Is this the issue?
"/" mount point is /dev/mapper/vg-root (230gb) and is encrypted with encryptsetup luksFormat, "/boot" mount point is sdb1 (2gb). ubuntu live exists in sdb1.
Thanks in advance
