This is a distro specific problem. IIRC, in your earlier mail you had stated that your are on RH 6.2. I am not familiar with the shut down scripts of RH. Just trace through the routines and see id the follow- ing are being done: 1. Turning off of swap (swapoff) 2. All processes have been killed with killall. This may be done even twice just to make sure 3. Turn off things like quota, accounting etc. if started. 4. Unmount any remote filesystems: umount -a -tnfs 5. Unmount local file systems: umount -a -tnonfs 6. Shut raid devices (if any) 7. Then halt the system with halt -f -p Depending upon your distro and the things that you have started there may be many more things like shutting off servers, daemons etc. You would have to crosscheck your init scripts with the shutdown scripts to see if anything has been left out.Unmounting the local file system may fail if some process is kept running at the time of the unmount request.
