Hello, folks. I know it has been a really long time since I have last posted in this bug report which after all has been opened by me.
Ubuntu 12.04 Kernel 3.2.0-37 ---------------------------------------- In post #17 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1105900/comments/17) I confirmed that starting with kernel 3.2.0-37 the reported problem/bug had been fixed. As far as I can tell this is true for all later 3.2.0-x kernels, too. On my Ubuntu 12.04, by now Ubuntu 12.04.3, the problem has never occurred again. And currently, I am on kernel 3.2.0-55. Summary: Bug fixed in kernel 3.2.0-37 and all later kernels. Ubuntu 12.10 Kernel 3.5.0-23 ----------------------------------------- In post #18 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1105900/comments/18) I had stated that the problem still persisted. This was right with respect to the symptoms. This was wrong with respect to the cause. Starting with 3.5.0.23 the "filesystem / busy" during the shutdown and the need to perform an fsck during startup has no longer been caused by the kernel. As I know by now - shame on me for needing more than 6 months to find out - the remaining symptoms were caused by a shutdown problem which is discussed e.g. in these two Launchpad bug reports: + Upstartification of /etc/init.d/networking has lost deconfiguring-networking event causing bad side-effects (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1061639) + In Quantal, the root filesystem is not cleanly unmounted at shutdown or reboot (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1058987) So whoever is still experiencing an unclean root filesystem on each startup should check those two bug reports. >From my point of view: Kernel bug fixed in kernel 3.5.0-23 and all later kernels.
