Probably some other usefull information: trying with an older version of e2fstools (under openSUSE 10.2) resulted in following error-message (no crash!):
fsck.ext3 -n /dev/sdc3 e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006) fsck.ext3: Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt beim Versuch, /dev/sdc3 zu öffnen Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? I translate the first line of output into English: "device or resource is busy while trying to open /dev/sdc3" Seems there is some flag or attribute set to prevent acces? -- e2fsck crashed with SIGSEGV in strlen() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257048 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
