problem unmounting filesystems when rebooting/halting after upgrade

mechmg93 · 2011-02-24 00:47:43

I just installed mkinitcpio 0.6.8-2 and util-linux 2.19-3 from testing repo and when i reboot/halt my system either with my custom kernel26-ck or kernel26 from core i get an error when unmounting filesystems saying:

"/dev/sda3 busy remounting read-only"

/dev/sda3 is my /home. After several reboots i noticed that 2 weird files(strange unreadable names) appeared in my home, so afraiding that something is wrong with the filesystem i rolled back the packages (mkinitcpio, util-linux-ng and my old kernel26-ck). Now everything is fine again with both kernels,

I'm writing my experience here because i do not know which of mkinitcpio and util-linux may be responsible for that problem. If anyone has an idea it would be nice to inform me so that i open a bug report.

+1 - I can confirm this behavior...

@mech - did you log a bug report?

I opened a bug report but it was closed because of being duplicate to that:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23014?s … name=&type

so it seems that the developers team is already informed about the problem.

I tried again with 2.19-4 which is supposed to solve the problem but i don't think that the problem is gone. I did not manage to read the errors, but they are reffering to simular problems about umounting.

I think I have this same problem and I'm screwed because I can't get in to X windows or run any command that need to write to the system.

I'm stuck booted up on an Arch cd hoping that an update will come that can fix this.

just downgrade the package in the meantime. Using the testing repo comes with its downfalls and it is clearly mentioned that you do so on your own risk.

tried downgrading but the same thing happens, the whole system is readonly and nothing changed in the fstab

edit: I got it up, think it was the bash upgrade and as a result I learned a whole lot about using mount and umout ^__^
