We have a user space file system implementation. Lets say the binary name is user_fs Execution/Mounting is done by using "systemctl start user_fs.service" and stop/umounting is done by using "systemctl stop user_fs.service"
The service file looks like following: [Service] KillMode=none Type=forking ExecStop=/opt/scripts/user_fs stop ExecStart=/opt/scripts/user_fs start Restart=on-failure RestartSec=10 StartLimitBurst=3 StartLimitInterval=60s StandardError=journal+console StandardOutput=journal+console [Install] WantedBy=default.target When the mountpoint is busy, the ExecStop fails to umount which is expected. user_fs.service - Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/user_fs.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2016-05-23 01:56:15 EDT; 18min ago Process: 22360 ExecStop=/opt/scripts/user_fs stop (code=exited, status=32) Process: 21933 ExecStart=/opt/scripts/user_fs start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 21988 May 23 01:56:15 perfnode105 user_fs [22360]: Running umount /mnt May 23 01:56:15 perfnode105 user_fs [22360]: umount: /mnt: target is busy May 23 01:56:15 perfnode105 user_fs[22360]: (In some cases useful info about processes that May 23 01:56:15 perfnode105 user_fs[22360]: use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).) The first issue is, once the command mentioned in ExecStop failed due to mountpoint busy, the user comes out of the mountpoint, making it un-busy and again fires the systemctl stop command, however the status of the service is not changed, it remained in failed state and the mountpoint remains mounted. We have to explicitly do umount and kill the process to clean it. How can I avoid this issue so that once the mountpoint becomes un-busy, executing systemctl stop again will complete successfully. My second issue is, on failure of stopping/umounting, no failure message appears on console although I have used StandardError option. I will really appreciate any help.
