I was able to create the fs with the --force options. But that bug should be fixed,
too :)

Is that link maybe too long? It is created by udev, and there was never a problem
using that link.

Subject: Bug in mkfs.btrfs?!

Hi,

I wanted to create a new btrfs fs for my backups.
When trying to mkfs.btrfs for that  device, I'm getting

"error checking /dev/loop2 mount status"


With strace I see where the problem is:

lstat("/dev/disk/by-id/ata-INTEL_SSDSA2M160G2GC_CVPO939201JX160AGN-par",
0x7fffa30b3cf0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)



The problem is there is something missing at the end of the link, should be
something like "-part1", "-part2" etc.


I'll try the patch with the --foce option.

Regards,
Felix
