The best way to try and figure out what is causing this is to modify /etc/init.d/umountroot and right before the umount's, add
/usr/bin/lsof -n > /saved.root.lsof sync This will save a listing of all opened files and which processes have them open. Things marked as 'deleted' in this list are generally the problem. If you see libc6.so opened by upstart, then this bug has regressed. Otherwise, it is probably something else. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/672177 Title: libc6 upgrade causes umount to fail on shutdown because init cannot be restarted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/672177/+subscriptions -- 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
