I am suffering this bug on my 10.10 laptop. It just decided to not boot anymore last night. According to TT, I downloaded the latest e2fsprogs 1.41.14 from sourceforge, built and installed it, but still get the error:
% sudo fsck /dev/sda3 fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda3 Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? So I don't think the latest e2fsprogs fixes this at all, or it is another problem (no - /dev/sda3 is not mounted anywhere). I am going to have to find a live CD to try and fix this very annoying bug. How ubuntu could leave a serious bug like this open in 10.10 just shocks 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
