[Bug 775014] Re: Only partial unmounting during shutdown.

[Bernhard Kleine]

Hi,

since this is looks like a nasty, fundamental problem, I am very much
disappointed that there has been any reaction within three months. The
problem has not gone away in the meantime and I wonder whether there
will be any help to correct the problem.

Given the fact that the lack of proper unmounting sometimes leads to
disk errors, I am quite convinced that the problem I report is of the
category "serious" or "data loss programmed".

It looks that I should change the distribution and go back to debian
even if that means that I will miss some multimedia stuff.

Bye

Bernhard

  I have a file system with two hd and several partitions mounted
  separately locally
  
  root, /home, /usr, /var, /local/share , /home/bernhard/fotos/bilder, /backup are on separate partitions. all ext3.
  These are all listed in fstab and mounted during booting.
  
  During unmounting the message "unmounting local file system" does not
  appear any further and when booting again all partitions but the
  rootpartion have to reload the journal, which indicates unproper
  unmounting. The rootpartion and /usr are on sda, the others on sdb or
  further usb-mounted devices. the only partition unmounted w/o problem
  seems to be the rootpartition on sda4.
+ 
+ edit: the root partition is not unmounted, too. As I could find some
+ entry in dmesg which showed that root was also recovered.
  
  For testing: before shutdown I unmounted /usr/local/share and
  /home/bernhard/fotos/bilder by hand. After shutdown these two partitions
  did not need to recover the journal, the others had to.
  
  I expect the file system to unmount properly and to be mounted cleanly
  without the need to wait for recovering the journals.
  
  Cheers
