Description Wojciech Pilorz 2006-03-27 23:58:46 UTC
Description of problem:
FC5 started in single user mode (via telinit) does not allow
umounting /usr (which I needed to resize /usr).

fuser shows that sh is keeping mapped files;
/proc/<PID>/smaps shows that
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive and
/usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache
are kept opened/mapped.

The workaround I used was to run
set LANG=C
exec /bin/sh

After that I could umount /usr and resize it; 

I believe /usr should not be required for single mode opration.

Additional info:
