It would be helpful if you told us what filesystems you have mounted on '/dev/md3'. If it is your root partition, then it makes sense that it cannot be unmounted, as the programs and files used in the shutdown are located on it! This is not a problem however, as part of the shutdown process is to remount as read-only any filesystems that cannot be cleanly unmounted. > * Remounting remaining filesystems readonly ... > [ ok ] This prevents any further writes to the disk, while still allowing processes access to their data. > Synchronizing SCSI cache for disk sdb: > Synchronizing SCSI cache for disk sda: Disk buffers are then synchronised to disk, removing any risk of data corruption, and the system is halted. > System halted. So in answer to your question, it is quite normal and is not a problem. If '/dev/md3' does not house your root partition, then it probably contains a daemon that is refusing to shutdown in an orderly manner. Running `lsof /partition` might help you track it down. -atj -- [email protected] mailing list
