And the bug report is here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3444351&group_id=2406&atid=102406 | 1. e2fsck should not try to write when using -n. | 2. ignore error is not a question to be answered with "no" when | using -n but with "yes" instead. | 3.

Do that. But before you start the copy, reboot your system, maybe there is some processes waiting in disk-io on the problem disk (task state D in process lists). At least, that's what | e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/dm-1 | Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? suggest. However, that message may as well be caused by the other bug in e2fsck. Maybe it could be useful to init 1, wait for the X server and other stuff to stop and then log in on the text console and do the copy there, so that all that normally fancy but for this problem nasty auto mounting stuff is not active when you connect the disk(s) to your system.
