Hi Dave,
I solved my problem by using the same fstab I had with Caldera which does not
use supermount. I have my floppy and zip setup to used vfat, dos or ext2
formats.

Hi Bruce, Civileme et al.
I've just installed Mandrake 7.0 and found the same problem (with umounting
file systems while shutting down). I'm not an expert [I barely make it as a
newbie], but what I've found is that the problem is with my Floppy drive
(and possibly CD drive if there is no CD in
What version of MDK are you using? There's a bug in MDK6 that causes this
problem. To solve it, you have to download some files (mainly the init
scripts) or use the update tool.

Ok, I have to run, but when I get back I will reload my orginal fstab, reboot
and run these tests to see what happens. I am really wondering why I have
to recreate fstab to get it to shutdown right. Besides, I did like the auto
mount of the cdrom and zip...

I updated fstab to the same one I used on Caldera before I switched to
Mandrake. It seems to me, Mandrake was locking some empty disks (floppy, zip
and CD-ROM). Now I have to use an manual mount every disk change, but it
reboots without a problem.
Thanks for all the advice.

This system is a desktop, with 1 hda one 4GB (IDE) split into two VFAT
partitions for win95 with one ext2 boot partition and one 9 GB sda split into
three ext2 partitions. No RAID or NFS used. Oh it does have a zip and that does

I have seen no problems here except I do remember someone's complaining about the
shutdown trying to shutdown his computer and instead producing some interesting races
of characters across his screen. I suggested he edit a file which was a symlink to
another file and he did and the system

When ever I shutdown Mandrake using KDM shutdown or reboot or init 6, my
system does shutdown, but hangs at "unmounting file systems". My only recourse
it to power off. That results in a
