SDcard /dev/sdb2 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here
- by user171223
I divided my sdcard into 2 partitions, but It got an error and couldn't create a new partition.
Error:
/dev/sdb2 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!
My /dev/sdb was not mounted, and the output of command lsblk was:
cxphong@cxphong:~/Desktop$ lsblk

I couldn't delete /dev/sdb1 (dm-0) & /dev/sdb2 (dm-1). What are they?
