[Bug 1170911] Re: umount error messages during shutdown

[Steve Langasek]

Hi Laurent,

Please note that mountall is only involved in the mounting at boot, it
has nothing to do with shutdown.  The messages shown here come from a
sysvinit script.

The spurious messages on shutdown about unmounting not-mounted
filesystems have previously been reported as bug #1097321.

The error reporting that the root filesystem is busy is a more serious
issue that can have various causes.  We should figure out what's holding
the root filesystem open on your system and fix it.

** Package changed: mountall (Ubuntu) => sysvinit (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High
