1/ openafs init script does not stop the afs client correctly. umount /afs does not work often 2/ there is an error in the message eend $STATUS "Error stopping AFS" at the end of the script Proposal : add following lines in the init script before "umount /afs". These lines exist in some other afs scripts. echo "Sending all processes using /afs the TERM signal ..." /bin/fuser -sk -TERM /afs echo "Sending all processes using /afs the KILL signal ..." /bin/fuser -sk -KILL /afs Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

OpenAFS needs a developer to take up maintenance.
I'm not sure killing afsd is the correct way. Although afsd appears as a process, it is a kernel process and the only correct way I believe available to shut it down - and get /afs unmounted - is to use "afsd -shutdown". Unfortunately, that never worked for me on linux.
New ebuilds for openafs 1.2.13 (stable) and 1.3.85 (experimental) are available for testing. According to openafs-ml, 1.3.85 is currently undergoing testing so it can become 1.4rc. The scripts haven't been modified to forcefully kill any process still using the /afs mount, seems a bit harsh. But I haven't had any problems with cleanly unmounting /afs lately (I mostly use 1.3.85, but I've tested 1.2.13 for a short while as well). It'd be great if these new proposed ebuilds could be tested, to see if the problem remains
The init script has been modified to shutdown the afs client parts in the correct order. The main reason was probably the openafs-package itself, as I got the same errors a few versions ago when shutting down correctly. It seems to work correctly now though. I'm therefore assuming this to be fixed.
