my disk was not accessible caused by a membership in a raid system month ago, but still containing a label/signature from that. i could fdisk the drive, but couldn't not swap on it or delete/create partitions/file systems on it.
after reading your posting i remembered it, but if it's not your problem: okay ! it was just my idea...
Maybe it is after all. I do not know at this moment but I will try to re-check that. Not right away, though. Thanks! I know that I did check that condition when no dmraid was on initrd, but this was a side-effect of other issues and I did not pay a close attention if possibly there was some other point when this disk was "grabbed".
I am still somewhat baffled what makes that disk "busy" on a system level even if a dmraid track is correct.
