[Bug 600739] Re: Union file system is killed when shutting down (SQUASHFS errors)

[Stéphane Graber]

Marking as Invalid because aufsd and overlayfsd are kernel threads and as such aren't killable so don't need to be explicitly protected.
As for the ntfs mount, the standard shutdown sequence should be syncing and unmounting all filesystems, I don't see why we should be special casing this one.

** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

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

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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.
