@Clint: I did test your proposal in Maverick.
Before editing the stop scripts: fgrep "stop on runlevel" /etc/init/*.conf /etc/init/acpid.conf:stop on runlevel [!2345] /etc/init/anacron.conf:stop on runlevel [!2345] /etc/init/apport.conf:stop on runlevel [!2345] /etc/init/atd.conf:stop on runlevel [!2345] /etc/init/cron.conf:stop on runlevel [!2345] /etc/init/cups.conf:stop on runlevel [016] /etc/init/dbus.conf:stop on runlevel [06] /etc/init/failsafe-x.conf:stop on runlevel [06] /etc/init/gdm.conf:stop on runlevel [016] /etc/init/irqbalance.conf:stop on runlevel [!2345] /etc/init/mountall-shell.conf:stop on runlevel [06] /etc/init/rc.conf:stop on runlevel [!$RUNLEVEL] /etc/init/rcS.conf:stop on runlevel [!S] /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf:stop on runlevel /etc/init/rsyslog.conf:stop on runlevel [06] /etc/init/tty1.conf:stop on runlevel [!2345] /etc/init/tty2.conf:stop on runlevel [!23] /etc/init/tty3.conf:stop on runlevel [!23] /etc/init/tty4.conf:stop on runlevel [!23] /etc/init/tty5.conf:stop on runlevel [!23] /etc/init/tty6.conf:stop on runlevel [!23] /etc/init/udev.conf:stop on runlevel [06] /etc/init/ufw.conf:stop on runlevel [!023456] After editing the stop scripts: fgrep "stop on starting" /etc/init/*.conf /etc/init/cups.conf:stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016] /etc/init/dbus.conf:stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06] /etc/init/failsafe-x.conf:stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06] /etc/init/gdm.conf:stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016] /etc/init/mountall.conf:stop on starting rcS /etc/init/mountall-shell.conf:stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06] /etc/init/rsyslog.conf:stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06] /etc/init/udev.conf:stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06] Then execute apt-get install --reinstall libc6 and reboot: I still get the 8 orphaned inodes as reported already. Did I miss to change the other scrips as well like this? stop on runlevel [!2345] -> stop on stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/688541 Title: race condition on shutdown (leads to corrupted fs) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
