hanging my shoutdown? I don't get the reason umount -a && shutdown -h now
did not do the trick.
I ask gently again if you could inform me why did the "magic reboot" did
work while shutdown did not.

Victor,
I am no expert in the shutdown logic that Arch uses, but it is fairly
easy to follow. During shutdown, /etc/rc.shutdown is called and the
'umount_all' command is supposed to take care of unmounting all non-api
filesystems. If you have specific commands you need run in _addition to_
what is done by rc.shutdown, then you can put those commands in
/etc/rc.local.shutdown. The /etc/rc.local.shutdown must be executable to
be called (chmod +x) or (chmod 0755). The rc.local.shutdown file is
called close to the beginning of rc.shutdown.
Looking at your mtab file and comparing to mine, I do not have any
usb drives connected to my system. Somebody more familiar with issues
related to usb drives will need to comment. You might want to try
Guillermo's shutdown modified as follows:
umount -arfl -t usbfs,fuseblk
I don't know if that will do it, but you have 5 fuseblk filesystems
and 1 usbfs mounted. I don't know how Arch handles their unmounting.
Lastly, I do not use the gnome gvfs-fuse-daemon. That is another
entry to look at and make sure it isn't the issue. Maybe try your
rc.local.shutdown with:
umount -arfl -t usbfs,fuseblk
killall gvfs-fuse-daemon # or whatever that process actually runs as
Well just tried reinstalling made no difference. So I guess I will be
looking it why it is starting that way. It may or may not be related to
the shutdown issues. But other than this one thing my symptoms seem to
match this minus the screen turning red when freezing. I will post back
here if I sort anything out that may help this problem.
