Use the old cwm to format your system partition. After that reflash twrp if u like. Twrp has one annoying bug, and that is if you flash the system partition with fastboot, twrp is unable to mount the system partition.

The bug is listed as a problem in twrp. See the first post in the twrp thread.

Nope, there isn't a solution to the 100mb problem. Only with a script u can get it right. Somewhere on this forum there is a hand made solution that does the job. It works, tried it myself.

I have this message about 100mb on my fastboot too. Could it be important in my problem that you commented on http://forum.xda-developers.com/raz...-cyanogenmod-11-t2966855/page117#post61326253 or is it unsolvable? thank you

No, the 100mb message means that the max download size of a file you want to flash through fastboot is 100mb. So a file like system.img may not exceed 100mb. To flash a image higher than 100mb, u need a fastboot binary that can separate the big file in chunks of 100mb and than send those files to the phone. So all files are send with a max size of 100mb, but the actual combined size surpasses 100mb.
