From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010701 Description of problem: If I shutdown my system, the system hangs while "Unmounting local file systems". I narrowed down this problem, by stopping Squid (service squid stop), and trying to umount /webcache (the mount point for my reiserfs file sytem that Squid is using). The umount command simply hangs, and cannot be killed. I believe this problem was introduced with an update to the mount package, because this was not happening with my initial implementation of reiserfs on RedHat 7.1. The umount -V command reports the following version information: umount: mount-2.11b How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount any reiserfs file system 2.umount any reiserfs file system 3. Actual Results: umount hangs, and cannot be killed. Expected Results: umount should finish, and the file system should no longer be mounted. Additional info: I believe this issue was introduced with a patch to mount. The umount -V command reports the following version information: umount: mount-2.11b
Did you upgrade your kernel? If so this is probably a duplicate of bug 45628.
I looked at bug 45628, and it does appear to be the same problem, because I did upgrade to the 2.4.3-12 kernel.
This problem has been fixed, and I have since upgraded my system to RedHat 7.2, where the problem is also no longer occuring. You can close this bug.
