The problem persists. I have not been able to make much of it. I found
that through the lsof command I can see what processes are toying around
on the /usr partition, but that's quite a load. Apparently not all
processes agree they should stop when shutting down, and that is what
keeps the partition 'busy'. A clumsy workaround that I found is
umount -r /usr
which tries to unmount the /usr and if that won't do, remounts it
read-only. If I then shut down and switch off when the system hangs (at
"INIT: no more processes in this runlevel") there is no more check of the
drive. Mounting it read-only seems to close the drive in an orderly
manner.
But still, I would like to know what causes this, and how to fix it. I
already killed as many things as I can, like USB, IRDA, Postfix etc. but
to no avail...
