[opensuse] unable to mount partition
Hi, I am unable to mount a partition, whenever I try I get the following error message: mount /export mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /export busy lsof /export does not list anything, /dev/sdc1 is not listed in /etc/mtab nor in /proc/mounts, so I wonder how the system gets this idea? There is also nothing showing up in messages or dmesg. I also disabled the nfsserver and rebooted the system, but with the same effect, unable to mount. When I try to fsck the filesystem, I get the followign error: fsck.ext3 /dev/sdc1 e2fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) fsck.ext3: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdc1 Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? I'm on opensuse 10.3, x86_64. Any idea whats going on here? cheers Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Could be something as simple as the device-mapper having a file handle to the partition already. Don't know if you've fiddled in that area at all though. Just a thought! On Jan 9, 2008 12:42 PM, Sebastian Reitenbach <sebastia@l00-bugdead-prods.de> wrote:

This device wouldn't be a partition created in Windows and be formatted with Windows? If it is then boot into Windows and then SAFELY REMOVE it using Windows. It seems that if you just unplug the device without 'removing' it a flag (on the device) remains set and Linux assumes that it is already mounted (or something like this :-) ). (If it isn't a Win formatted device but formatted with Linux then it wouldn't hurt to still try the above method to 'unmount' it (plug it in and then use My Computer on the desktop to Safely Remove it) - you never know......)

That's a different thing. Partitions will always be seen by linux. However, linux will refuse to mount read/write an ntfs partition not properly closed by windows and will open it read only. That is not what is hapening here... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
