In 14.10 amd64, mountall keeps running, causing init to keep /var/log/upstart/mountall.log open for writing, which prevents root from being remounted read-only.
These things are easy to examine by adding a /bin/sh line to /etc/init.d/reboot in do_stop() before "reboot -d -f -i". Then when you reboot you can switch to virtual console 1 and use lsof and other commands to explore what is going on. For example this is the line in lsof output showing the problem: init 1 root 8w REG 8,5 613 1062101 /var/log/upstart/mountall.log I added a /usr/bin/killall mountall line to /etc/init.d/umountroot before root is supposed to be remounted read-only. That seems to fix the problem. You need the full path because /usr/bin isn't in PATH, and don't use -9. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1261730 Title: /dev/sda1 must be recovered on every boot Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 dev with mountall 2.52.
