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.
