I'm having a problem with unmounting my filesystems when I'm
rebooting my system. This problem has only started when I upgraded to
2.3.99-pre5. My initial thought was that this is related to shm, however,
after exchanging e-mail with Christoph Rohland, I'm no longer sure. I
applied a patch that he passed along to me, posted on the lkm when others
were having similar problems with shm. Yet I'm still having the same
problem. I also tried the newest pre6 alpha with no luck.
Initially the problem seemed to be primarily with unmounting /var
and /, so I moved shmfs to /dev/shm. Then I seemed to have more of a
problem with /tmp and /home.
So, I then compiled a kernel w/o support for shared memory. And
I'm still having the same problem with /tmp and /home, so shared memory
obviously is not the issue.
Now, this same system works w/o any problems under 2.2.13 and
2.2.14, the only hardware change being the addition of a SoundBlaster
Live.
Also, the longer my machine is up, the more programs I've been
running, the more likely this proboem is to occur (particularly when I've
been running X).
