Does this persist with later or earlier kernels? There were some refcounting problems somewhere in 2.3.99, IIRC. It's fixed in 2.4.0-test1 kernel, I'm not sure what kernel version between 2.3.99-pre5 and 2.4.0-test1 fixed it though, but either way my drives unmount properly now. -Stan Bubrouski |
Ever since I installed the latest initscripts my system has been failing to unmount my /root partition. I've been looking at the problem for the last two days completely baffled. The /root partition is root's home directory which appears to be a key ingredient to the problem. While shutting down, it fails three times to unmount the /root partition saying it is in use which should not be the case. Last night I was using a windows machine and had three remote telnet connections to the linux machine. The windows machine crashed and had to be hard-booted which left the processes from the logins still running on the linux machine. When I went to shut down the linux machine it had another unmounting problem, it could not unmount /root or /home partitions, as it claimed both were in use. So it seems whatever partition contains the home directory of user who is logged in at reboot or halt time is unable to be unmounted because it is believed to be in use. I have the latest kernel 2.3.99 installed plus latest mount, net-tools. bash, util-linux, and initscripts installed, and seeing as they were all installed around the same time I'm unsure which is causing the problem. I assume it must be initscripts because something is obviously not being exited prior to unmounting leaving the partitions in-use. One thing to note though is that fsck is not called after reboot and the partitions always seem to be clean even after being checked so I'm not even sure if they are not really being unmounted or what. This is what the error looks like: Unmounting file systems umount2: Device or resource busy umount: /root: device is busy [FAILED] Unmounting file systems (retry) umount2: Device or resource busy umount: /root: device is busy [FAILED] Unmounting file systems (retry) umount2: Device or resource busy umount: /root: device is busy [FAILED] Any thoughts? Questions? Help?! :) -Stan Bubrouski
