after looking at the console pointed at in comment 3, I thought i might be able to trigger this by issuing 'reboot-instances' on a running node. I was not successful in doing so.
In a instance of: eu-west-1 ami-738fb007 ubuntu-precise-daily-i386-server-20120119 I issued reboot via 'euca-reboot-instances' 10 times and colllected log output (the low number is really because it takes 5m to get a console output). None of these resulted in the fsck issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/898373 Title: fsck.ext3: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/xvda2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/898373/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
