Good idea. ;) But I think it needs a manpage update as well. If you use ext2fs_check_if_mounted() can you find out whether it's mounted readonly, and allow it to proceed in that case? (But I suppose that only checks one mount point, I'm not sure?) -Eric > Signed-off-by: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > misc/Makefile.in | 2 +- > misc/e2image.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++-- > 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/misc/Makefile.in b/misc/Makefile.in > index 8a69855..2e20b25 100644 > --- a/misc/Makefile.in > +++ b/misc/Makefile.in > @@ -49,7 +49,7 @@ UUIDGEN_OBJS= uuidgen.o > UUIDD_OBJS= uuidd.o > DUMPE2FS_OBJS= dumpe2fs.o > BADBLOCKS_OBJS= badblocks.o > -E2IMAGE_OBJS= e2image.o > +E2IMAGE_OBJS= e2image.o ismounted.o > FSCK_OBJS= fsck.o base_device.o ismounted.o > BLKID_OBJS= blkid.o > FILEFRAG_OBJS= filefrag.o > diff --git a/misc/e2image.c b/misc/e2image.c > index 885a794..6f6329a 100644 > --- a/misc/e2image.c > +++ b/misc/e2image.c > @@ -49,6 +49,8 @@ extern int optind; > > #define QCOW_OFLAG_COPIED (1LL << 63) > > +/* ismounted.h */ > +extern int is_mounted(const char *file); > > const char * program_name = "e2image"; > char * device_name = NULL; > @@ -87,7 +89,7 @@ static int get_bits_from_size(size_t size) > > static void usage(void) > { > - fprintf(stderr, _("Usage: %s [-rsIQa] device image_file\n"), > + fprintf(stderr, _("Usage: %s [-rsIQaf] device image_file\n"), > program_name); > exit (1); > } > @@ -1255,6 +1257,7 @@ int main (int argc, char ** argv) > int qcow2_fd = 0; > int fd = 0; > int ret = 0; > + int ignore_mounted = 0; > struct stat st; > > #ifdef ENABLE_NLS > @@ -1269,7 +1272,7 @@ int main (int argc, char ** argv) > if (argc && *argv) > program_name = *argv; > add_error_table(&et_ext2_error_table); > - while ((c = getopt(argc, argv, "rsIQa")) != EOF) > + while ((c = getopt(argc, argv, "rsIQaf")) != EOF) > switch (c) { > case 'I': > flags |= E2IMAGE_INSTALL_FLAG; > @@ -1290,6 +1293,9 @@ int main (int argc, char ** argv) > case 'a': > all_data = 1; > break; > + case 'f': > + ignore_mounted = 1; > + break; > default: > usage(); > } > @@ -1305,6 +1311,14 @@ int main (int argc, char ** argv) > device_name = argv[optind]; > image_fn = argv[optind+1]; > > + if (is_mounted(device_name) && !ignore_mounted) { > + fprintf(stderr, "\nWarning: Running e2image on a mounted " > + "filesystem can result in an inconsistent " > + "image which will not be useful.
