Lab 9.3 #6 [Put filesystems on the partitions]: will not make a filesystem here!
Please guys, I really need an insight on what I'm doing wrong here.
Pretty sure the solution is obvious but so far have eluded me. Sorry for the long output.
Thanks!

OK ... I finally managed to figure this out. Dumb me!
When I did losetup -f. I saw that the device was /dev/loop0.
Yet, I went ahead and used /dev/loop1 ($ sudo losetup /dev/loop1 imagefile) for the imagefile.
Once this was taken care of, everything fall into place.0 -
Hi,
It's good to know that you have been able to fix it.

You need to read the labs properly.
kpartx commands are for old CentOS 6 where direct mapping or mounts did not exist.[b]and we will use them in the following. However, on RHEL 6 such nodes do not appear. Instead, you have to do:[/b]
You may have skipped the formatting with parted and to mount them just do mount /dev/loop1p1 mount1
or you did both kpartx and ln -s
same for the other twos obviously with different partitions and mount points0 -
The othe reason could be that that loop device is in use.
issue a loosetup -f prior to mounting0
