Folks sorry for cross posting this at forum and mailing lists but so far no solution came there. Folks after the last upgrade I can no longer shutdown nor reboot my machine (I'm using it as root). The command simply hangs and nothing happens. I've done some research and found https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=141155 this but that does not seems to be my issue. I'm clueless which logs can I provide you in order to diagnose what can be the problem? Important thing, I have only 1 session running and the system report going down still it never gets past the tty broadcast as it seems. Ideas? This came after a update last weekend, the content of the update is here: http://pastebin.com/54305EH0 Dmesg output is here http://pastebin.com/HjwGvDsp My last boot log is here: http://pastebin.com/Tg70mD8F My fstab (which was asked on the forums is here): http://pastebin.com/dGUuWhNe Is it somehow related? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662433 I've googled a bit and came with a solution which gives us some insights http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/rebooting-magic-way Seems something is not properly unmounting. SO you can for it with: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger Forcing a shut down, still no clear way out of it. Ideas? I was asked to perform a fsck which failed.It reported /dev/sda5 was mounted. Is there any proper way I should use to call fsck? I did create a /fsck file on / is there other more appropriate command to do it? Problably you asked for my fstab expecting an error like this right? Would it be better to run fsck from a livecd? regards, Victor
