I am suffering this bug on my 10.10 laptop. It just decided to not boot anymore last night. According to TT, I downloaded the latest e2fsprogs 1.41.14 from sourceforge, built and installed it, but still get the error:

% sudo fsck /dev/sda3
fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda3
Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?

So I don't think the latest e2fsprogs fixes this at all, or it is another problem (no - /dev/sda3 is not mounted anywhere). I am going to have to find a live CD to try and fix this very annoying bug. How ubuntu could leave a serious bug like this open in 10.10 just shocks me?
