jbd2 headache

lsof tells me there are 3 instances of jbd2/sdc1. It should be no problem to use -f with badblocks in this case, but is there any way to stop jdb2 from accessing the unmounted partition? Thanks for any help you can provide. Doug Wyatt -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubs
