If you had read the e2image man page, you would have seen that it doesn't send any data blocks; just the file system metadata. It does send the directory and file names, but there is a scramble option that scrambles the file names leaving only the directory topology.
I'll note that Ubuntu 11.04 seems to be shipping e2fsprogs 1.41.14, so it should have been no different from what you were trying. It makes me wonder if there was something else going on, such as some other user daemon that was holding the block device open, or some such. Anyway, all I can say is this isn't a problem I can reproduce, and if I can't reproduce it, I can't help people try to fix it, especially if they refuse to give me data that might help me determine why it's not working for you when it works for me.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711799 Title: e2fsprogs wrongly identifies ext4 as mounted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/711799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
