This is a regression introduced by the fix for bug 13599 If you have your 'mount' reading its mtab off of a tmpfs, then tmpfs is now unmounted by the shutdown scripts. (ie: i have /etc/mtab symlinked to /var/run/mtab which is on a tmpfs) The code to do "Unmounting Filesystems" uses 'mount' to establish a list of filesystems to *not* unmount then uses 'cat /proc/mounts' to determine the list of filesystems to unmount. The problem is that /proc/mounts always works and 'mount' fails to work after the tmpfs containing mtab is blown away. This means that '/' isn't in the list of filesystems to skip unmounting. fuser -km / is then called, and of course the shutdown script is using the root filesystem, so gets killed. Possible solutions: (1) Instead of using `mount | awk '{ $1 / $3 / $5 } print $3'` use `awk { $1 / $2 / $3 } print $2 /proc/mounts` (this is how I've fixed my system) (2) (same as the alternative option suggested by the author of bug 13599) Delay the unmounting of swap until *just before* poweroff/reboot and skip the tmpfs unmount until then. (3) You probably have some better ideas than this. Thanks
re-open in 1.11.8 doesnt handle this correctly
