Oh, I mentioned it in a previous draft of my original mail but it seems it got lost in rewrites, I don't actually use systemd. Not that it should matter here though. > Typical shutdown should have done: > [ 73.498022] shutdown[1]: Sending SIGTERM to remaining processes... > [ 73.505501] shutdown[1]: Sending SIGKILL to remaining processes... > [ 73.512783] shutdown[1]: Unmounting file systems. > And at the time of umount / no processes are alive other than systemd. Yeah, I have a similar thing happening on shutdown, except that we're talking about a kernel thread here, so that process is ignored by the mentionned killing spree as a result, thus leaving that process running. >From a shell opened after the umounting fails I can see that only my pid1 & the opened shell are running, except of course that this bpfilter process is there, as a kernel thread "[none]" Manually killing it at that point works, i.e. allows the umounting to succeed and a proper shutdown to complete.
