Firts; This is not the rigtht forum for general Linux questions. second; I cant imagine that this would have something to do with samba and apache. Particullary this would happen if you have mounted a filesystem via NFS and the NFS-server i dead when you are about to unmount it... Do you have any NFS-mounts? Did you install MD from an NFS-server? If so, MD creates an NFS-mount, /mnt/nfs. Check your /etc/fstab and with the mount comman before you try to thutdown If this is not the case, the problem may be caused by some error in lockd.. Look for error reports at Mandrakes homepage. third; Use the ext3-filesystem instead of ext2. Ext3 i a journalizing filesystem and do not have the need for a filsystemcheck after a system-crash. OK, that does not solve your problem, but at least it will boot faster.... -----Original Message----- From: CoolBits [mailto:binary@freemail.com.mk] Sent: Thu 04-Apr-02 12:45 To: newbie@XFree86.Org Cc: Subject: [Newbie]Problems shutting down Mandrake 8.2! Hi, I installed the download version of Mandrake 8.2 . I must say that I have never seen a better organised linux distribution so far. Just there was a problem during the shut down. What basically happenes is that is fails to unmount NFS filesystem and stops working. The screen just freezes at that point. I don't know what could be wrong. I tried installing mdk 8.2 of two different machines with totally different configurations. All goes well and works perfectly except the end part. As far as i know NFS is the Network File System. I've configured Samba on my linux box and apache is also configured. Could that be the problem? Anyone please write if you have experienced any similar problems. A very short summary of the problem : I can't shut down my linux properly. It simply stops when it reaches the point where it has to unmount the NFS filesystem and doesn't continue. So basically during the shutdown proccess instead of getting : Unmounting NFS filesystem < OK > I get the following, Unmounting NFS filesystem < Failed > and that's where it freezes. The only way out is the reset button on the computer (which calls for a file conststency check on the next bootup which really sucks :( ) ANY info is greatly appretiated.
