[Bug 656526] Re: Device or resource busy while trying to open

[Colin-mcewan]

I've just run into this issue. Having checked out and built the latest
e2fsprogs from git, I get the same error:

colin at 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 :/

Title:
  Device or resource busy while trying to open

Status in “e2fsprogs” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: e2fsprogs

  After a system crash my Ubuntu didn´t want to boot due some problems
  in Ext4 filesystem. I was trying to repair filesystem with booting
  from Ubuntu LiveCD and run fsck.ext4 and e2fsck. But both programs
  said me that:

  fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1
  Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?

  But this partition wasn´t mounted, I checked it with mount command.
