解決"/dev/sdX is apparently in use by the systemwill not make a filesystem here"

在Linux上配置multipath，在HP EVA儲存上劃分一個100G大小的LUN,然後把它對映給Linux主機，將該100G空間使用fdisk進行分割槽，分為3個區（關於Linux multipath多路徑配置與使用案例請參考作者的另一篇博文：http://blog.itpub.net/31015730/viewspace-2146732/）

但是在格式化檔案系統的時候，出現了報錯

[root@seaing mapper]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1

mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)

/dev/sdb1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!

提示/dev/sdb1 正在被使用。 /dev/sdb1 正在被DM管理，所以我們建立檔案系統時提示報錯，我們手工的移除，就可以正常的建立檔案系統，具體操作如下：

[root@seaing mapper]# dmsetup status

[root@seaing mapper]# mount /dev/mapper/mpath1 /comsys/

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

[root@seaing mapper]# mount /dev/sdb1 /comsys/

mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /comsys/ busy

刪除對映關係，取消對映

[root@seaing mapper]# dmsetup remove_all（或dmsetup remove mpath1）

[root@seaing mapper]#

[root@seaing mapper]# dmsetup status

再次建立檔案系統，建立成功

重新啟動作業系統，檢視自動掛載是否成功

重啟後測試，該檔案不能正常掛載，手工掛載也會失敗。

[root@seaing mapper]# df -h

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

                      434G  4.9G  407G   2% /

/dev/sda1              99M   18M   77M  19% /boot

tmpfs                 7.9G     0  7.9G   0% /dev/shm

手動掛載也不能成功

[root@seaing mapper]# mount -a

mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /comsys busy

所以說這種方法只能暫時性掛載，個人覺得不太不可取！！！想要永久的進行掛載，還是按照作者的另一篇博文（http://blog.itpub.net/31015730/viewspace-2146732/）的方法進行比較穩妥一點。
