Looking for suggestions on how to troubleshoot this thing more easily: Dual Athlon MP 2100+ workstation running RH Rawhide { a super modified 7.3 } . IDE hard drive. The directories /usr and /usr/local are on separate partitions for size reasons. The start for run level 0 is killall and reboot. With the help of a hapless passerby, I compared level 6 Kxx symlinks to files in init.d and they are all there with no redundant entries. Runlevel 0 has killall, halt.
The machine works great for numericals and simulations. Problem is when we shut it down. Almost acts like it's doing a cd to /usr before final shutdown. We get the familiar: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unmounting file systems: umount2: Device or resource busy umount: /dev/hda3: not mounted umount: /usr: Illegal seek [FAILED] INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel ~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOWEVER, it shuts down properly if I go into maintenance mode and do: ~~~~~~~~~~ su { must be root } /sbin/shutdown 0 { go to maintenance mode } killall -9 minilogd { one of the services affecting /usr } killall -9 ntpd { another service affecting /usr } killall -9 cupsd { last service affecting /usr } umount /usr/local { required to get rid of /usr } umount /usr { unmount /usr } poweroff { or reboot -- works properly } ~~~~~~~~~~ For some reason I am missing something obvious.
