For a few months, I have been having problems where some partitions are being unmounted at odd intervals.
I wrote a script wrapper around the umount command, and have found that it is being done by a script that is part of the hald setup. Has anybody else seen this? The affected partitions are ones that usually don't have any open files, but only because the other umount's are failing, the script is running through *ALL* my partitions and trying to unmount them. The script in question is: /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-unmount The umount wrapper is showing this activity: Thu Jan 18 18:47:11 EST 2007 umount called with parameters = '/' : Parent PID = 20125 root 20125 20124 0 18:47 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-unmount Thu Jan 18 18:47:11 EST 2007 umount called with parameters = '/var' : Parent PID = 20134 root 20134 20133 0 18:47 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-unmount Thu Jan 18 18:47:11 EST 2007 umount called with parameters = '/usr' : Parent PID = 20143 root 20143 20142 0 18:47 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-unmount Thu Jan 18 18:47:12 EST 2007 umount called with parameters = '/data' : Parent PID = 20152 root 20152 20151 0 18:47 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-unmount Thu Jan 18 18:47:12 EST 2007 umount called with parameters = '/var/spool/news' : Parent PID = 20172 root 20172 20171 0 18:47 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-unmount Thu Jan 18 18:47:12 EST 2007 umount called with parameters = '/usr/portage' : Parent PID = 20186 root 20186 20185 0 18:47 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-unmount Thu Jan 18 18:47:12 EST 2007 umount called with parameters = '/home' : Parent PID = 20198 root 20198 20197 0 18:47 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-unmount /data /var/spool/news & /usr/portage are the partitions that are affected most. Is there a way to mark these partitions so that hald will keep it's interfering mitts off them? -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/~paulcol Asking for technical help in newsgroups?
