How are you shutting down the machine? If something sending SIGKILL to all processes?
First SIGTERM, then SIGKILL, yes.
You could try the following patch. I think it should be safe.
Hmm, it said chunk failed, so I replaced the line by hand. That didn't want to compile because "mode" supposedly wasn't defined ... was that supposed to be "mddev->safemode"? Closest thing to a mode I could find ... Anyway, this is much better: (lines with * are new) Done unmounting local file systems. *md: md0 stopped *md: unbind <sdf> *md: export_rdev<sdf> *[last two lines for each disk.] *Stopping RAID arrays ... done (1 array(s) stopped). Mounting root filesystem read-only ... done Will now halt. md: stopping all md devices * md: md0 switched to read-only mode Synchronizing SCSI cache for disk /dev/sdf: [...] As you can see the error message is gone now. Much more interesting are the lines before the "Will now halt." line. Those were not there before -- apparently this first attempt by whatever to shutdown the array failed silently. Not sure if this actually fixes the resync problem (I sure hope so, after the last of these no fs could be found anymore on the device) but it's 5 past 3 already, will try tomorrow.
