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?
I had a similar problem that began several months ago with my box hanging on
shutdown or reboot. This problem was related to samba shares not being
unmounted. To get around the problem a created an entry in
'/etc/rc.local.shutdown' to call a script to unmount the drives. This solved
the problem. The script I call simply checks whether there is still an entry
in /etc/mtab for the share and if so, manually unmounts the share:
[[ $UID -eq 0 ]] && umountcmd=umount || umountcmd="sudo umount"
if grep -q mnt\/phx-cfg /etc/mtab; then
echo "umount /mnt/phx-cfg"
$umountcmd /mnt/phx-cfg
fi
if grep -q mnt\/phx-david /etc/mtab; then
echo "umount /mnt/phx-david"
$umountcmd /mnt/phx-david
fi
if grep -q mnt\/phx /etc/mtab; then
echo "umount /mnt/phx"
$umountcmd /mnt/phx
fi
if grep -q mnt\/win /etc/mtab; then
echo "umount /mnt/win"
$umountcmd /mnt/win
fi
if grep -q mnt\/pv /etc/mtab; then
echo "umount /mnt/pv"
$umountcmd /mnt/pv
fi
exit 0
If you are experiencing shutdown hangs do to lingering mount issues, then
something similar to this setup may help. (I never did figure out why the
normal shutdown scripts didn't do this automatically)
