@willdeans: thanks for the strace. It was very useful indeed. Can you try e2fsprogs 1.42.6 and see if the problem still occurs with that version? The fact that you are seeing the "fallback back to backup descriptors", "nope, that didn't work", etc., twice was something that was fixed in 1.42.2, and 1.42.6 is the latest released version, and it's after the second "nope that didn't work, going back to the original supberblock" that you're getting the EBUSY error. So the newest version of e2fsck should hopefully fix this for you.
Note to others. willdeans problem may be different from others. If you are using some other version of e2fsprogs, ***please*** open a new bug and don't just glom onto this bug. It's one of the things that I loathe about Launchpad (or at least how most Ubuntu users tend to use Launchpad). People mix up bugs with superficially similar symptoms, and make it very hard to impossible to disentangle bugs that really should have been kept separate. Thanks!!! It's always better to open a new bug, and if it turns out to be the same as another bug, we can always declare it a duplicate later, after we are 100% sure it is a duplicate. -- 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
