[Bug 1402363] Re: Failed to install on qemu-system-x86_64, USB mounted system disk

[Phillip Susi]

You are apparently trying to reuse an existing filesystem that is
damaged.  You should have the installer format the disk fresh, or if you
want to keep the existing filesystem, you will need to fsck it to repair
the damage first.
