I should clarify. It has nothing to do with ext3 -> ext4 migration, unless the fstab is sensitive to it. The disk is ext3, and so the kernel was detecting the drive as ext3 -- and when that happened, I got EXT-3 journal recovery on every reboot. So on the thought that maybe the fstab was sensitive to that (and becasue I really would like the ext4 driver) I added rootfstype=ext4 to my bootup options. It didn't fix the problem, it just changed it from EXT-3 journal recovery to EXT-4 journal recovery. OK. Poking around a bit more, innserv seems to be the culprit. /etc/init.d/umountroot isn't getting run on shutdown, because both /etc/init.d/halt and /etc/init.d/umountroot are getting the same priority to start in runlevels 0 and 6 (i.e. S01halt, and S01umountroot), so you can guess which one gets run first. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
