I just bought a new backup disk, and I want to check it. It's mounted in a USB dock.Running the following gives an error: root@martha:~# umount /dev/sdb1 root@martha:~# e2fsck -c -c -C 0 -f -F -k -p /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1 is in use. e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.What's causing this and how do I fix it?
