In xenial, it calls sync() after killing all processes, and not before killing them. This means that processes are racing the SIGKILL/TERM timeouts to sync all IO to disk. To mitigate this race condition, and make the shutdown process more reliable the sync() should also happen before process killing spree starts. [Fix] Backport upstream commit https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/2e79d1828a8da9b3af1b052297e3617905ec94f3 [Test Case] * Make sure systems still shuts down, including e.g. root on raid. [Regression Potential] * Shutdowns may appear to be slower due to two sync() calls instead of one * However total shutdown time should not be impacted much, as there really should not be much additional IO caused by killing all processes.
