Since the running rsyslogd process has an open file descriptor for the /usr/sbin/rsyslogd binary, I believe /usr could not be unmounted while it was still running, although I haven't tested. I think it has to be stopped before $remote_fs can be stopped in the general case. Incidentally, you're also saying that /var ($local_fs) can be unmounted before rsyslogd is stopped, which similarly probably isn't going to work since, at least in the default configuration, rsyslogd is holding a bunch of open file descriptors in /var/log. I'm not sure what you should actually do here, whether add an override because the problems I think I see don't actually happen or change something about the init script. But I think the Lintian analysis is correct. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
