You didn't answer my question in #42 above. Type "man null" to learn how /dev/null works.
The ps command produced an error message. Assuming that it wasn't mis-typed, that means that the modem-manager process wasn't running, which is the correct result. That's also consistent with last line in the modemmanager.log that you attached. I suspect that your problem could be that modemmanager simply hasn't had time to complete the shutdown process before umountroot is run. Since modemmanager is an upstart job, sendsigs doesn't kill it. I've seen no evidence that your problem is a network-manager bug. If I were you, I would open a new bug report using ubuntu-bug, probably against upstart. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/963106 Title: NetworkManager causes orphaned inodes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/963106/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
