Description of problem: This applies to RHEL3 AS/ES/WS Update 3 and 4. While Rebooting/Shutdown, system hangs with the error given below. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): probably vixie-cron 3.0.1-75.1 rpm and possibly initscripts/chkconfig. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Reboot or Shutdown 2. 3. Actual results: ****************TRUNCATED*********************** Sending all processes the TERM signal [OK] Sending all processes the KILL signal [OK] Turning off swap [OK] Turning of quotas [OK] Unmounting file system: umount2: Device or Resource busy umount:/var: device is busy [FAILED] ****************TRUNCATED************************ The [FAILED] message is repeated 3 to 30 (approx) times, resulting in an inordinately long reboot/shutdown times. Expected results: Clean normal reboot/ shutdown Additional info: In some systems downgrading vixie-cron-3.0.1-75.1 rpm to 3.0.1-74 rpm helps but not always.
