Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.42.12-1 Severity: important Upon boot I saw that a large file system was up for periodic check at the next boot. To shorten the next boot time, I umounted the file system and wanted to run e2fsck on it as I've done in the past. However, e2fsck refuses to do anything, stating:
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
… is in use.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
To verify that this was not a problem with this specific file system,
I tried another one:
root@sneo:~# mount | grep video
/dev/mapper/system_vg-video_lv on /scr/media/video type ext3
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=1,data=ordered)
root@sneo:~# fuser /scr/media/video/
root@sneo:~#
root@sneo:~# umount /dev/mapper/system_vg-video_lv
root@sneo:~#
root@sneo:~# mount | grep video
root@sneo:~#
root@sneo:~# LC_ALL=C e2fsck /dev/mapper/system_vg-video_lv
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
/dev/mapper/system_vg-video_lv is in use.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
root@sneo:~# mount /dev/mapper/system_vg-video_lv
root@sneo:~# mount | grep video
/dev/mapper/system_vg-video_lv on /scr/media/video type ext3
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=1,data=ordered)

I recently did this to enlarge file systems / lvm volumes, so it just
recently broke. (Sorry, I cannot give you exact dates, I don't log
this for my private machine).
P.S. Upon boot another (large) file system was checked, so checking in
principle seems to work stilll
