Bug 249149 – sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.11.1 and livecd unmount error with docache

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Richard Scott 2008-11-28 09:43:44 UTC]

Hi,

When booting with a 2008.0 CD with the docache option enabled I am unable to shutdown wihtout getting this error message:

* Remounting remainint filesystems read only ...
umount: /: device is busy
umount: /: device is busy
umount: /: device is busy
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):

If you wait for a bit it does automatically shut down without having to do
Control-D and without using docache the system powers off without an error!

I have found a fix for this that I will attach in a moment as its a bug in /etc/init.d/halt.sh

Rich

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot a 2008.0 livecd with the docache option
2. wait for it to boot to the command prompt
3. type poweroff or reboot to start the shutdown process
4. wait to see the error on screen when all filesystems are remounted readonly

Patch to fix unmount errors when using docache

This patch fixes the unmount errors that I've been getting when using the
docache option and stops the password for maintenance prompt resulting in a
clean poweroff.

Is this bug still valid with baselayout-2 / openrc?
