Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.38+1.39-WIP-2006.04.09-1
Followup-For: Bug #366017
I also see this problem. The following command:
mke2fs -c -c -j -L backup500 /dev/sdb1
Gives the following output:
mke2fs 1.39-WIP (09-Apr-2006)
Filesystem label=backup500
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
61063168 inodes, 122096000 blocks
6104800 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
3727 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
16384 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208,
4096000, 7962624, 11239424, 20480000, 23887872, 71663616, 78675968,
102400000
/dev/sdb1 is apparently in use by the system; it's not safe to run badblocks!
Writing inode tables: ...
Note the error from badblocks. The device is definitely not in use, by the way.
However, invoking badblocks directly:
badblocks -w /dev/sdb1 -s -b 4096 -o /tmp/bb
is successful.
I believe the test in badblocks for whether the device is in use is fairly new
so maybe mke2fs is leaving a file descriptor connected to the device when
invoking badblocks.
