Package: autofs5 Version: 5.0.4-3.2 Severity: normal Occassionally our Debian 6 boxes don't shutdown. The shutdown process hangs forever with the last messages:
Turning off quotas:...Checking for running unattended-upgrades: I assume, I found the reason for this issue, but no solution. Our linux computers mount some directories via NFS. The directories /home and /sw are managed by the automounter. /usr/local is a symlink to /sw/local.debian-6 which is mounted from the NFS server. While shutting down, sometimes the automounter stops too early. Afterwards all scripts in /etc/init.d which look for binaries in /usr/local/bin hang. Until Debian 5 this wasn't an issue, because the automounter finishes at a well defined time relatively to other services. But with the new dependency based init system, this time seems to vary and sometimes the automounter finishes too early. If this situation occurs, all local terminals are already dead and can't be used for debugging. But from an open ssh session I can restart autofs and then the shutdown goes further. First I tried to remove /usr/local/bin from the PATH variable in /etc/profiles. But this doesn't not help, because a lot of init scripts define theire own PATH variable: # grep -l "PATH.*/usr/local/bin" /etc/init.d/* /etc/init.d/alsa-utils /etc/init.d/apache2 /etc/init.d/binfmt-support /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils /etc/init.d/cups /etc/init.d/hal /etc/init.d/ipmievd /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin /etc/init.d/networking /etc/init.d/quota /etc/init.d/quotarpc /etc/init.d/saned /etc/init.d/schroot /etc/init.d/sysstat /etc/init.d/unattended-upgrades Next we tried to adjust the start/stop dependencies in /etc/init.d/autofs. But we didn't found a working solution. I am not shure, whether autofs is the only reason for the shutdown hang. Maybe NFS stops too early, too. Maybe it is important to state, that we don't use the Network-Manger. It caused some problems while system start. Is there a simple solution or workaround for this?
