I did read the man page and noted the scramble option. In fact, I did save a scrambled image before I recovered my partition but the man page is vague on how the names are (one-way?) ciphered and the e2image.c code had little comments to help explain it so I am not willing to publish my image anywhere. Are there some debugfs type commands you would like me to try on your behalf? Please contact me privately as this is a terrible bug that I think warrants your attention.

I have 2 similar partitions, sda2 and sda3. Both are ext4, exactly the same size, and were created about the same time. I could run fsck fine on sda2, but (the corrupted) sda3 always gave the "device busy" error as above. The 11.04 e2fsprogs_1.41.14_1ubuntu3 does seem pretty much the same as the generic 1.41.14 sources I had already tried so there must be something else unique about the 10.10 kernel/environment?
