Package: netbase Version: 4.40 Severity: minor On certain configuration described below, system fails to halt during interface shutdown process and stalls in unusable state.
=== Description === When a system is running on NFSroot (or any other network-based storage/filesystem), netbase usually detects it, and skips doing ifdown(8) so it can properly halt. This is done by check_network_file_systems() in /etc/init.d/networking script. However, when a root filesystem is "unionized" by aufs, current detection method won't work, as /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh can unmount NFS, even when it is a rootfs. After umount, its entry in /proc/mounts is gone, but NFS(-through-aufs) is still valid and in use. Due to this detection error, "networking" script goes on to do ifdown(8), and stalls shutdown process. It may be possible to use "modprobe -r nfs" to see if NFS is really in use or not, but that is too kludgy and NFS-specific (I'm certain this will happen with all network filesystem). It may be better to mark this as WONTFIX and just keep it as a record. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages netbase depends on: ii initscripts 2.87dsf-8 scripts for initializing and shutt ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages netbase recommends: ii ifupdown 0.6.9 high level tools to configure netw netbase suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
