Actually I don't think this is network-manager's fault. By all rights, it should be *dead* by this point.
umountnfs.sh emits unmounted-remote-filesystems, which stops networking (stop on umounted-remote-filesystems), which emits deconfiguring- networking, which causes dbus to stop (stop on deconfiguring- networking), which causes network-manager to stop (stop on stopping dbus). So umountnfs.sh should not exit until network-manager (the upstart job) is considered *stopped*. This means that NetworkManager should be completely *dead*, even SIGKILL'd if it didn't die within 5 seconds. /etc/init/networking.conf emits deconfiguring-networking in post-stop. If I'm reading the upstart state machine properly, job_finished() is not called until a job's state gets to JOB_WAITING, which would have to be after the post-stop. However, its possible post-stop had an error, which would still finish the stopping event for networking, but would not emit deconfiguring-networking. So, verbose logging would confirm this by showing that the networking post-stop failed. If that shows true, I believe this would be resolved by changing dbus to stop on stopping networking ** Package changed: network-manager (Ubuntu) => ifupdown (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1089771 Title: umount of /var partition fails during shutdown, due to lingering dhclient Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The 'Unmounting local filesystems...' stage of shutdown fails, and reports that the /var partition is busy. This occurs where /var is on its own separate partition. I am using 64 bit Kubuntu 12.10 (quantal) but I was also able to reproduce this problem on a clean install of xubuntu 12.10 i386 in virtualbox. I added debugging messages to the script: /etc/init.d/umountfs 'fuser -m /var' shows that the only process with a file open on /var is dhclient, which has a dhcp lease file in /var/lib/dhcp/ Using 'fuser -k -m /var' in the umountfs script kills the offending process, allowing for a clean shutdown, but that's not the right fix. I'm not sure how to proceed from here. dhclient is a child process of NetworkManager - should NetworkManager clean it up? the /etc/init.d/sendsigs script, which kills other processes during shutdown, is specifically blocked from killing dhclient by an entry in /run/sendsigs.omit.d/ so it is not clear to me what should be happening. Apologies if I filed this in the wrong place.
