Bug 26256 – Problems with umounting loop mounts on shutdown (/etc/init.d/halt.sh)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kalin KOZHUHAROV 2003-08-09 03:27:09 UTC]

I have /usr/portage mounted on a loop device (see
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=445092&highlight=#445092) and on every
(occasional) reboot a get several error messages while trying to umount it.

Poking around, I found the solution, at least for me, so please audit this patch
and probably include it in the next release of the sys-apps/baselayout ...

I use the marked stable sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1 at the moment.

Patch for /etc/init.d/halt.sh

For me this works, but please test it on other platforms.

Ooops... Seems that |sort -r is needed when you have several mounts on in
onother...

Instead of umounting /dev/loop0, /dev/loop1 etc umount what it points to

Fixed my own patch not to remove the pipe to sort -r
