[Bug 1019347] Re: A message: "mount: / is busy" appears every time shutting down or rebooting.

[Øyvind Stegard]

Had this problem in 12.10 (upgraded from 12.04) and now in 13.04
(upgraded from 12.10). Unchecking "Available to all users" on the
ethernet connection in network config seems to resolve it. The strange
thing is, even though I have now re-enabled "Available to all users" on
eth0, the problem is still fixed. Perhaps NetworkManager config just
needed a jiggle. I've put some lsof debugging in /etc/init.d/umountroot
in case it happens again..

Title:
  A message: "mount: / is busy" appears every time shutting down or

Bug description:
  I arrived here from bug 963106
  [https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/963106]. I thought that it was a
  problem with network-manager, but it was not.

  I was suggested that it is probably a problem with upstart : "that
  modemmanager simply hasn't had time to complete the shutdown process
  before umountroot is run. Since modemmanager is an upstart job,
  sendsigs doesn't kill it."
