Hi. I recently upgraded from 2.2.14 to 2.3.99-pre5, and now when I
shutdown my system, my /home and /usr partitions don't umount cleanly
because init claims they're busy. The result is a lengthy fsck when I
reboot. I'm using SysVinit 2.76 and util-linux 2.10k. Never had the
problem with the earlier kernels, and I upgraded everything that was
mentioned in the 2.3 Changes file. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
DAW

yep. subscribe to linux-kernel-digest if you diddle with the latest
pre-x kernels. Then you'll learn about those small errors soon, and get
nifty patches to solve them too :-)

Good luck,
Jurriaan

PS It's a relatively harmless bug, IIRC. My suse distro does an
automatic remount to ro and didn't need an fsck at the next boot....
