Bug#584690: [Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#584690: killprocs: kills root filesystem failing to reboot

Excerpts from Petter Reinholdtsen's message of Sun Jun 06 00:39:28 +0200 2010:
 [Michal Suchanek]
  When the root filesystem requires a process to work and killprocs
  kills that process the system ay fail to reboot because it is unable
  to read the reboot executable.
 
 This is a bug in whatever provides the root file system.  The sendsigs
 script provide a mechanism for services to avoid having their process
 killed by sendsigs during shutdown (the killprocs script is only used
 in runlevel 1 and is unrelated to reboot).
 
 Which package fail to register their daemons pid using the omitpid
 feature in sendsigs?  This issue should be reassigned to that package.
 

The mount is done by live-initramfs so I guess that's where the
issue is.

However, killprocs has no such exclusion mechanism afaict.

Is that intentional that going single user kills the processes that
should not ever be killed?

Thanks

Michal
