I think the error "couldnt unmount disk" was due to the fact that somewhere in the process it said it was trying to "relocate the recovery partition".
#Partition failed couldn t unmount disk full size#
This would let the errors be repaired, but still I would get the error " Disk Erase failed with the error: couldn't unmount disk" when I was trying to resize the partition to include the unallocated space.Ģ) So Finally, when booting from the recovery USB stick, and using Disk Utility, I was able to resize the main partition to the full size of the hard drive.
#Partition failed couldn t unmount disk mac os#
It had also created errors on my main Mac volume (when scanning with Disk Utility).ġ) The Disk Utility inside Mac OS was not able to repair the volume, so I had to boot from the recovery partition (cmd + r during boot), and then repair them. The bootcamp assistant had failed halfway through the process, and it could not extend the partition to include the unallocated space ("partition failed").
#Partition failed couldn t unmount disk pro#
I had removed bootcamp and the associated partition from my Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion, and I wanted to reallocate that space on the hard drive to my main Mac partition. But I have no idea what are the relevant bits and when I tried to paste it all it was too long to be posted successfully.I had a similar problem as the thread starter, and was able to fix it by making a bootable Mountain Lion Recovery Volume on a USB stick, as Courcoul suggested above ( ).

Still can't get the install to work.ĭid more searching and came across a blog post of a solution to a similar error on Ubuntu but I'm not sure how to execute since there does not seem to be a "try before install" option to the OMV installer.Īnyway, I managed to generate debug logs from the installer. "No root file system is defined.Please correct this from the partitioning menu."įound this thread and tried the suggested solutions but could not get dd to work. This probably happened because the selected disk or free space is too small to be automatically partitioned." However, IF at all possible, I would prefer to try to solve this issue and perform a clean install on my J3455-ITX unit directly. I understand that there is an option of completing the install on a separate system before moving the boot device on my intended machine. Two options, do the install on other motherboard and once work, move disk to your motherboard.īurn ISO in a CD and boot from a cd-Reader to do install, this last MUST work.

I had not expected this process to be quite so difficult. But strangely enough when I ran it, the debian install ALSO failed while partitioning disks because it could not mount a file system. Created bootable USB with the debian-9.3.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso this time using Rufus in GPT. I tried running diskpart and "cleaning" my USB sticks, then attempted to use different ports, but it all ended in the same outcome.įinally, I came across something about installing OMV over Debian Stretch and decided to give that a try. I updated to the latest BIOS then tried fiddling with UEFI/CSM switching everything to Legacy only, that didn't work either. I tried using Win32 Disk Imager instead of Unetbootin, didn't work. This time the process was much smoother but still ended up with the same "Failed to create file system" error. Process took forever and ended up with an error stating "Failed to create file system".ĭid some Googling and thought I might have better luck with the kernel on OMV 4.0 so I repeated the process creating a bootable USB with UNetbootin once again. Followed the guides to create a bootable USB with UNetbootin and a copy of the OMV 3.0.94 ISO.

This is my first attempt at building my own home server and I'm a complete novice at Linux, so please forgive me if I don't quite know the exact lingo to be using.Īnyway, I started off trying to install OMV 3.0.94 on my Asrock J3455-ITX motherboard.
