Public bug reported: Using an external USB drive with ext3 filesystem. After awhile it won't mount, so I check dmesg and see that it's complaining of excessive mounts without a filesystem check. (I already filed Bug #134425 saying I wish Gnome would report filesystem errors.)
I tried to use gparted to fsck the drive. If you umount the partition from gparted, Gnome remounts it (Bug #133806) so you have to umount from Gnome. HOWEVER, gparted is unable to fsck the partition -- after complaining that the e2fsck cannot check a mounted filesystem, gparted crashes with a segfault. This MAY be purely Bug #133806, but I hadn't before seen a mention of the segfault. ** Affects: gparted (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gparted segfaults trying to fsck ext3 external drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159569 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
