Are you sure this still happens in 9? Looking at 'rc', it exports the LANG to 'C' before calling halt/reboot. Actually, 9 exports LC_ALL, LANG is unchanged. I don't know if that fixes the problem, I don't remember if I tested a RedHat Linux 9 system with /usr remotely mounted or only if LANG was defined for something other than C. It still is in RH9, although for halt LC_ALL is set to C. But, for netfs, LANG is unchanged, and no LC* is defined. Doesn't netfs needs LC_ALL (at least) defined to C? Regards, Luciano Rocha Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of response. If this persists on a current release, such as Fedora Core 4, please open a new bug. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: The i18n support in /etc/init.d/functions causes the shell to load several files under /usr in order to support the language specified in /etc/sysconfig/i18n (even if it's "en/en_US"). Then, on shutdown and if /usr is a remote nfs filesystem, the netfs script will try to umount it, obviously fail, and then will kill the rc script responsible for the shutdown, stopping the shutdown process and locking the OS. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-6.67-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. have /usr as a remote nfs filesystem (or maybe any remote or local filesystem?) 2. make sure /etc/sysconfig/i18n exists and has LANG defined to something other than C 3. shutdown the machine Actual Results: the rc script is killed and init reports that no processes left in current runlevel Expected Results: /usr should be unmounted, or at least mounted ro Additional info: This bug is present in RedHat Linux 8.0 and 9 and maybe others
