Like 42d5e37654e4 ("audit: filter PATH records keyed on filesystem magic") Any user or remote filesystem could become unavailable and effectively block on a forced unmount. -a always,exit -S umount2 -F key=umount2 Provide a method to ignore these user and remote filesystems to prevent them from being impossible to unmount. Extend the "AUDIT_FILTER_FS" filter that uses the field type AUDIT_FSTYPE keying off the filesystem 4-octet hexadecimal magic identifier to filter specific filesystems to cover audit_inode() to address this blockage. An example rule would look like: -a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x517B -F key=ignore_smb -a never,filesystem -F fstype=0x6969 -F key=ignore_nfs Arguably the better way to address this issue is to disable auditing processes that touch removable filesystems.
