My guess is that, if it runs, information will be lost from the system, or process sequence will be broken. The systemd message seems pretty clear in that regard; there are jobs running that are using /var. If it wasn't you that was trying to umount /var, then this seems like a system error, as the system shouldn't be trying to umount /var when jobs are running, except maybe at shutdown. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can explain it better. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
