Hey, I just took a look at the system/mountfs/essential service (where
you see /mnt/hdc1, it's my modification):
service system/mountfs/essential {
need = system/initial/mountvirtfs system/mountroot system/checkfs;
use = system/sraid system/hdparm system/selinux/relabel;
critical;
never_kill;
script start = {
for mp in /tmp /mnt/hdc1 /usr /var /srv /opt
do
/bin/grep -q "[[:space:]]${mp}[[:space:]]" /etc/fstab &&
/bin/mount -v "${mp}" &
done
wait
exit 0
};
script stop = {
echo "Sending all processes the TERM signal ..."
/sbin/killalli5 -15
sleep 3
echo "Sending all processes the KILL signal ..."
/sbin/killalli5 -9
sleep 1
FILES="`/bin/sed 's:^\S*\s*::' /etc/mtab | /bin/sort -r`"
echo "${FILES}" | while read mp drop
do
case "${mp}" in
/proc|/sys|/dev|/) ;;
*)
/usr/sbin/mountpoint -q "${mp}" && {
/bin/umount -r -d -f "${mp}" ||
echo "WARNING, failed to umount
${mp}"
}
;;
esac
done
exit 0
};
}
I don't have this /usr/sbin/mountpoint in my system. This is probably
causing /mnt/hdc1 to not get umounted (and I indeed am receiving
messages of "Filesystem is NOT clean" at bootup) at shutdown. Where
can I get this /usr/sbin/mountpoint
(Google turns nothing useful)? I think that a shoddy workaround would
be to remove the invocation of mountpoint altogether...
