[SOLVED] Strange Error When Rebooting

Hello everyone, I'm getting an error when I shut down, and I'm not sure what it means. I copied and pasted the error into Google but didn't find anything. Here is the error in question:

Nov 10 17:47:34 Athena udevd[2715]: '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sda2' [2716] exit with status 0xffffffff

Anyone know exactly what this means?

Re: [SOLVED] Strange Error When Rebooting

I've been getting the same thing.  It doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes.

Nov  9 20:50:30 homebox udevd[3893]: '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdb1' [4291] terminated by signal 15 (Terminated)

This is my swap partition.

I don't completely understand that. Did you fix it somehow, or did you conclude that it's not really anything to worry about?

In my case, I started having this problem when I wiped my drive and rebuilt my Arch installation. I don't think I had this problem with my previous install. And in my case, sda2 is my swap partition.

I have the same problem with udisks complaining about my swap partition. It happens after swapoff is called, at the stage when daemons are terminated. As was indicated in the ML thread, this is a udev issue and is pretty harmless. I
guess a solution would be to add a timeout to rc.shutdown between swapoff and kill_all(), but first I would wait for the new initscripts and see whether the problem persists.

Thank you! I agree, if this is an upstream problem, I prefer to just leave it alone and let them fix it. Thanks again.
