File System Check on Reboot
« on: May 18, 2009, 09:34:55 am »
My eBox is a test rig (not in production) and is shutdown and restarted frequently.  This is obviously different from production machines which will be restarted only infrequently.

When shutting down the machine an error message is received while unmounting the file systems '/ is busy'.  This is an intermittent condition occurring in approximately 25% of shutdowns.

When rebooting the machine, a report is received that the filesystem is unclean and a forced check is conducted.  The machine then reboots and works normally.

The condition was first reported in this post and wrongly reported by me as resolved.

The condition was first noticed when using eBox v 1.0 and is still present after a total rebuild using alpha2.

The machine has been rebuilt as a server using Ubuntu 8.04-2-LTS (without eBox) and the condition never presents.  Other servers built using the same OS also do not have the condition. Which suggests the condition may be related in some way to eBox.

Is it possible that eBox is using the / file system at shutdown?  Is there a way to troubleshoot this condition?
