Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.38+1.39-WIP-2006.03.29-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
While older versions of mkfs.ext3 worked without any problems
running mkfs.ext3 with the new version fails:
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda5
[...]
Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (4096 blocks): mkfs.ext3: Device or resource busy
while trying to create journal
# strace -f -eopen -o /tmp/mkfs mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda5
# cat /tmp/mkfs
[...]

20884 open("/etc/mtab", O_RDONLY) = 5
20884 open("/dev/hda5", O_RDONLY|O_EXCL) = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy)
[...]
No problems with "mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda5". /dev/hda[5] is definitely not mounted.
Tested with a 2.6.15 and a 2.6.16 kernel on several systems.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
