Description of problem: When issuing a reboot, or halt the system kills the S01reboot process and never completes a reboot or shutdown. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-9.03.38-1.el6_4.2.x86_64 How reproducible: Reboot a nfsroot system, bind mounts for RW parts of the FS may or may not be required to reproduce. Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot 2. 3. Actual results: system hangs after trying to umount filesystems Expected results: system reboots or halts Additional info: The issue appears to be in /etc/init.d/functions in the __umount_loop() function. This line appears to be the culprit that kills S01reboot: fstab-decode /sbin/fuser -m $remaining 2>/dev/null | sed -e "s/\b$$\b//" | xargs kill $sig >/dev/null fstab-decode /sbin/fuser -m $remaining reports back two copies of the scripts PID and the sed command only removes the first. Changing the regex for sed to "s/\b$$\b//g" resolves the issue, but there may be other issues in the function that are resulting in this being a problem.
This check was introduced in 6.4, before that it killed the script even in the case there was one pid. But thnaks for the report and we will fix that.
