I'm trying to resize a 14-TB ext4 partition on a device in a raid 5 configuration. Unfortunately, the current partition is set to 32-bit mode, so I am trying to change it per the answer in https://askubuntu.com/questions/779754/how-do-i-resize-an-ext4-partition-beyond-the-16tb-limit.



Unfortunately, after the umount, e2fsck claims that the device is still in use. I've shut down every service on the machine other than ssh, lsof shows nothing in use. How can I determine what is still using the device?



Actual commands:



root@minerva:~# lsof | grep /dev/md0

root@minerva:~# e2fsck -fn /dev/md0
e2fsck 1.43.8 (1-Jan-2018)
Warning! /dev/md0 is in use.

    Can you put the actual command line you ran and the exact output from the command into your question?
