So something must have changed > in the way systemd performs a reboot/shutdown.. I forget when, but plymouth started exempting itself from being force quit by systemd on shutdown. In my case it was preventing remount ro. I'm not even certain systemd tries to do umount on rootfs if an initramfs is being used, I'm pretty sure it only does remount ro. And in the successful remount ro case, I never see the log replay on XFS at next boot. You could try to mask the use of plymouth in systemd (or uninstall it). If the problem goes away, that's the culprit. If it doesn't you can probably track down what's holding up the remount ro with https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/#index2h1 And following the "eventually shuts down" section. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
