Description karlsl 1999-11-27 11:12:59 UTC
I see this message, "unmount: / is busy" whenever I try to reboot the
computer.

Hi RedHat,

I have exactly the same problem, but only on my IBM computer's with normal scsi
disks. I also have an IBM with serveraid installed and the problem is not there
at all. On one Dell server is not there either.
This is a transcript of an reboot:

  To mount /proc at boot you need an /etc/fstab line like:
      /proc   /proc   proc    defaults
  In the meantime, mount /proc /proc -t proc

Please stand by while rebooting the system...

Comment 2 Cristian Gafton 2000-01-06 21:09:59 UTC
You must have modfied some of your initscripts that cause /proc to be unmounted
prematurely and in turn the final shutdown steps are not performed cleanely.
