[Solved] /bin/mount hanging, preventing shutdown

Hi,

Upgraded my system today - got a problem with symbolic links to /var/run and /var/somethingelse which I solved using the solution in another post. But now mount shows a continuous 100% system load, and I am unable to kill (even -9) it. It also prevents me to shutdown the machine.

I just have two HDs in the computer, no USB disks or sticks. Booting seems OK, except for the message that /bin/mount is timing out (or something) and will be killed (which I guess it isn't).

Any ideas?

I am not sure if the mount showing 100% and not being able to shutdown are related or not.

but here's another thread -- not being able to shutdown. :: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=143113

As for your mount issue -- are you using any nfs shares? if so, do you have the netfs daemon in your DAEMONS array?

It seemed to be a udev problem- when I removed the "11-usb-drive..." mounting script from rules, everything worked fine again.
