1. Local filesystems not properly unmounted when halting a 2.3.99-pre5
2. I found a problem when testing a 2.3.99-pre5 on two machines
(1: Pentium II/350, 2: Compaq Armada M700 Notebook, Pentium II).
When halting the machine (from within a X session, this procedure
worked well with all 1.x, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and early 2.3), some of
the local e2fs file systems are not unmounted properly. This
results in long file system checks and it twice happend to cause
serious damage of the file system.
I have a debian distribution (woody). The file systems are
unmounted by /etc/rc0.d/S40umountfs:
#! /bin/sh
#
# umountfs Turn off swap and unmount all file systems.
#
# Version: @(#)umountfs 2.78 13-Nov-1999 miquels@cistron.nl
#
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
case "`uname -r`" in
1.*|2.[01].*) FORCE="" ;;
*) FORCE="-f" ;;
esac
# Write a reboot record to /var/log/wtmp before unmounting
halt -w
echo -n "Deactivating swap... "
swapoff -a
echo "done."
echo -n "Unmounting file systems... "
umount $FORCE -a -r
echo "done."
mount -n -o remount,ro /
The umount $FORCE -a -r command sometimes can't unmount/remount
filesytems. An error message says, that these filesystems are still
in use. When the system is in this state, I can't check whether
there are still processes running.
