In 14.10 amd64, mountall keeps running, causing init to keep /var/log/upstart/mountall.log open for writing, which prevents root from being remounted read-only.
These things are easy to examine by adding a /bin/sh line to /etc/init.d/reboot in do_stop() before "reboot -d -f -i". Then when you reboot you can switch to virtual console 1 and use lsof and other commands to explore what is going on. For example this is the line in lsof output showing the problem: init 1 root 8w REG 8,5 613 1062101 /var/log/upstart/mountall.log I added a /usr/bin/killall mountall line to /etc/init.d/umountroot before root is supposed to be remounted read-only. That seems to fix the problem. You need the full path because /usr/bin isn't in PATH, and don't use -9. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1261730 Title: /dev/sda1 must be recovered on every boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1261730/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
