Description Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev

As discussed on bug 642784, PID 1 (init) may hold open references to files which have been unlinked. These references may cause unmounting/remounting of filesystems to fail.

OpenRC should cause PID 1 to re-execute itself on shutdown to avoid this problem. This may generally be accomplished by calling "telinit u".

init script

Here's an init script that should get the job done. This should be added to the "boot" runlevel in pkg_postinst.

Alternate init script, should be added to the 'shutdown' runlevel.
