Title:
  xfs_admin gives "fatal error" when trying to label mounted device

Status in xfsprogs package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xfsprogs

  I'm runnig Ubuntu Feisty (amd64) and have formatted my sw-raid5 device
  with XFS, but I forgot to label it.

  When I later run...
  # xfs_admin -L "my_new_label" /dev/md0
  ... I got the following errormessage:
  "xfs_admin: /dev/md0 contains a mounted filesystem

  fatal error -- couldn't initialize XFS library".

  Okey, I know that I can't label the filesystem when it is mounted (at
  least now, after the error message), but my point is that the "fatal
  error" shouldn't appear, even if the filesystem is mounted. xfs_admin
  shouldn't try to label if it find the drive mounted (if that is why
  the message appear), and therefor shouldn't give errormessages. Just a
  notify, like the first line in the error-message, and that only, in my
  opinion.
