I fit in this case.. umounting by hand seems to work around indeed, but adding umounts to the end of rc.shutdown has no effect. It's an ext2fs thing, but root is not properly dismounted, requiring fsck on restart even though my ext2fs's are mounted read-only by rc.local and do not get fsck'd. -- Herculano de Lima Einloft NetoReceived on Sun Feb 01 2004 - 04:24:48 UTC
