@ James, I verified your patch in Lucid-amd64 (by manually inserting your lines of code) and can confirm: *it works*! (apart from the portmap and rpc.statd issue, whuich still persists of course).
I used Clints proposal inserting these 2 lines after the mount commands: /usr/bin/lsof -n | grep DEL sleep 15 (remark: lsof must be given with full path to be found). Now, when portmap is stopped manually before, there is absolutely no more "mount: / is busy" as without your patch and shutdown is clean! I did many tests with and without your patch - appears to be absolutely reliable. Congratulations! Hope this patch will be inclusded into 10.0.4.2. What now is missing: checking all the daemons which might have a buggy start/stop script. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/672177 Title: libc6 upgrade causes umount to fail on shutdown because init cannot be restarted -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
