I've just run into this issue. Having checked out and built the latest e2fsprogs from git, I get the same error:
colin@myth:~/Programs/e2$ sudo ./e2fsck/e2fsck /dev/sdb1 e2fsck 1.42-WIP (02-Jul-2011) ./e2fsck/e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb1 Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? So, not <em>entirely</em> fixed upstream :/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/656526 Title: Device or resource busy while trying to open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/656526/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
