Description

@absolutelynothelix

i have a dynamic disk next to my root partition and ldmtool fails to create a device-mapper device for it because the root partition is obviously mounted and device-mapper complains that the device is busy. i've tried the same thing from a livecd and everything works fine.

Device          Start        End    Sectors   Size Type
