I just wanted to try the kernel that I've build yesterday (see comment #6) and
as a first step I wanted to recreate re-create the described error situation on
an up to date 20.04 system:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal

$ apt-cache policy linux-generic
linux-generic:

But by surprise I didn't ran into any problems!
I was able to flawlessly make use of FBA devices in the following three
different way:
1) (re-)used a FBA device that was previously in use, without wiping out any
data
2) used a FBA device that I wiped out using wipefs
3) used a FBA device that I entirely wiped out (and zeroed) using dd
(see the attached doc for more details)
Looks like a fix for this problem came in with the kernels that were rolled out
in between 5.4.0-29-generic and 5.4.0-40-generic.
(Again I didn't installed the patched kernel, I just used the latest official
one.)
Message to the initial bug reporter:
Please can you retry on an up-to-date 20.04 system (or after having updated
your existing one, like for example with "sudo apt -y -q update && sudo apt -y
-q full-upgrade" plus reboot in case the kernel got update, what I assume will
happen)?
