Title:
  Union file system is killed when shutting down (SQUASHFS errors)

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: casper

  I was debugging a shutdown issue on a system where there was a ntfs
  recovery partition on the disk.  That is, a casper system and a
  ubiquity install on, say, /dev/sda1.

  One thing I noticed is that I was getting all sorts of crazy SQUASHFS
  errors on shutdown, appearing shortly after Ubuntu turned swap off.

  However, I believe it was because /etc/rc6.d/S20sendsigs was killing
  the aufsd processes (as well as mount.ntfs).  The following trivial
  patch fixed it for me.  It may not be the ideal fix, but it's a start.

  diff -Nru casper-1.236/scripts/casper casper-1.236test1/scripts/casper
