Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-31
Severity: normal
Hi,
After the latest sysvinit/initscripts upgrades shutdown seems to be
broken. This machine has (among other things) /sys and /dev/pts
bind-mounted in a chroot. At the end of the shutdown (both after the
'Asking non-system processes to terminate...' and the 'Killing
non-system processes...' messages), the initscripts complain that some
processes are using these bind-mounted locations. But AFAICT that's
false, the listed processes (_including_ init itself) are using the
original locations (i.e. /sys), not the bind-mounted ones.
After the fuser output, there are two more messages:
error: '/etc/init.d/rc' exited outside the expected code flow.
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
and nothing else happens after this. I can only reboot/poweroff using
SysRq at this point.
A quick experiment shows that fuser cannot make a difference between
processes holding the source of a bind mount and processes holding the
target of the bind mount:
# mkdir /tmp/a /tmp/b
# mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp/a
# mount --bind /tmp/a /tmp/b
# cd /tmp/a
# fuser -m /tmp/b
/tmp/b: 3958c
The behaviour of fuser is correct (it works on the filesystem level,
while bind mounts are pure namespace operations only). But the effect is
that the 'fuser' call in umountnfs.sh line 98 just kills /etc/init.d/rc
because it thinks it is using the bind-mounted location when in fact it
does not. If I just comment out the whole 'if [ -x /bin/fuser ]' block
and revert to using /etc/init.d/sendsigs, then everything works again.
