After doing an emerge -auv system I noticed the following problems. When trying to reboot (with shutdown -r now or reboot) the system would halt at unmounting local filesystems. After some research I narrowed the issue down to the /etc/init.d/halt.sh file (this section of the file) if ! umount "${x}" &>/dev/null; then # Kill processes still using this mount /bin/fuser -k -m -9 "${x}" &>/dev/null sleep 2 # Now try to unmount it again ... umount -f -r "${x}" &>/dev/null fi What is happening is the my /usr directory is a mounted partition and the rc shutdown script ends up accessing something within that mount. Therefore, the fuser command ends up killing the rc script at which point the reboot just hangs. I over came this problem by commenting out the fuser command.
