Yes, of course. It already contains a file system and a whole virtual
server which is not in production. I was reading the bd_claim kernel
function modified by the ubuntu patch to see if the results are the
problem. I'm not a c programmer...
But I think your code
if (bd_claim(nbc->backing_bdev, mdev)) {
WARN("Backing device hold by: %s\n",
nbc->backing_bdev->bd_holder);
retcode=LDMounted;
goto fail;
}
gets back -EBUSY all the time but nbc->backing_bdev->bd_holder is empty.
