Bug Description
Binary package hint: e2fsprogs
Using e2fsprogs 1.41.8-1ubuntu2 (Karmic alpha).
I unmount (or mount readonly) my ext4 partition, then remove the journal with tune2fs -O ^has_journal.
As long as the partition is unmounted, I can recreate the journal with tune2fs -O has_journal.
If the partition is mounted readonly, tune2fs fails with a sensible error message. I assume that this has never been intended to work.
If the partition is mounted readwrite, tune2fs says:
tune2fs: Unknown code ____ 255
while trying to create journal file
According to the man page, creating a journal on a mounted partition should work. I guess that this has just never been tested on ext4.
