Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.38+1.39-WIP-2006.03.29-2.1
Severity: important
I have created a small crypt filesystem with this commands:
# load modules
modprobe loop
modprobe dm_mod
modprobe dm_crypt
# create virtual disk
dd if=/dev/zero of=./secret.img bs=150000k count=1
# loopback
losetup /dev/loop0 ./secret.img
# this ask for pass twice
cryptsetup -c aes -y create secret /dev/loop0
# Then format as ext3
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/secret
Output error for mkfs.ext3 (with LC_ALL=C):
mke2fs 1.39-WIP (29-Mar-2006)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=1024 (log=0)
Fragment size=1024 (log=0)
37544 inodes, 150000 blocks
7500 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=1
19 block groups
8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group
1976 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
8193, 24577, 40961, 57345, 73729
Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (4096 blocks): mkfs.ext3: Device or resource busy
while trying to create journal
If I format with ext2 or vfat works right.
I have probed first to format as ext2 and then add journal like this
mkfs.ext2 /dev/mapper/secret
tune2fs -j /dev/mapper/secret
and works sucessfully.
I suppose this is a bug of mkfs.ext3 binary, with old versions
of e2fsprogs my script works ok.
If I try to mount mkfs.ext3 device:
mount -t ext3 /dev/mapper/secret /mnt/secret
dmesg said:
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev dm-0.
