With initscripts-4.68 /usr will not unmount properly on halt/reboot. At the end of the shutdown sequence it says: Turning off swap OK Turning off accounting OK Turning off quotas OK Unmounting file systems umount2: Device of resource busy umount: /usr: device is busy FAILED INIT: no more processes left in the runlevel and then hangs, the strange thing is that I don't have this problem on another computer with very simillar configuration.
Does this only happen with 4.68 for you as opposed to earlier/later errata releases?
I've had this problem ever since upgrading to 6.1 The problem is that fuser kills some stuff that shouldn't be killed. I put in a fuser -v -m /usr to see what was getting killed. It reported that both rc and S01halt were using /usr. After a little further investigation I figured out the whole of the problem: These machines use LDAP for authentication, so ldap is in /etc/nsswitch.conf. The libc loads the ldap library which is installed in /usr/lib. As a result every process depends on /usr. So I guess this is really a bug with the openldap rpm in that it should install libldap to /lib.
This is fixed in the nss_ldap RPMs in Raw Hide.
