I am using slackware (8.0), and the shutdown script on my system uses: # Turn off swap, then unmount local file systems. echo "Turning off swap." swapoff -a echo "Unmounting local file systems." # Don't remount UMSDOS root volumes: if [ ! "`mount | head -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 5`" = "umsdos" ]; then umount -a -r -t nonfs echo "Remounting root filesystem read-only." mount -n -o remount,ro / else umount -a -r -t nonfs,noumsdos,nosmbfs fi # This never hurts: sync --- I guess that's not the probem, then... Actually, whenever I shutdown I never see any messages about the unmounting (or the mounting in readonly mode) failing, which only adds to my confusion. >From: Samium Gromoff <_deepfire@mail.ru> >To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org >CC: mackstevenson@hotmail.com >Subject: Re: Basic reiserfs question >Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 03:35:49 +0000 (UTC) > >Actually you see "Warning" only when it is replaying log on >fs mounted readonly. Yes, that's the warning I see. >I wander though why you see it only "occasionally".. >Normally it replays log every time and you shouldnt bother. Does it? I know next to nothing about these issues, but I thought that I had read somewhere that log replays only occurred after a system crashed and couldn't be shutdown properly.
