Well, normally the root partition /will/ still be in use, so can't be |
| 15 |
unmounted. However, it's then mounted read-only, instead, forcing out all |
| 16 |
cached writes to bring the fs into a consistent state and then allowing no |
| 17 |
more writes to it after it's mounted read-only. Thus, the system can |
| 18 |
still shut down even with it mounted. |
| 19 |

The thing is, that's expected for your root partition, so it's normally |
| 21 |
included in the init scripts to mount it read-only instead of unmounting |
| 22 |
it, and for that one, it normally doesn't cause a warning, whereas for |
| 23 |
others, it would (and should, in the general case, anyway). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The problem here is that for some reason the system apparently isn't |
| 26 |
recognizing that partition as root, so it's still warning when it can't be |
| 27 |
unmounted. As mentioned, it could be an order thing, or it could be that |
| 28 |
particular raid or lvm config isn't setup correctly in the initscripts, so |
| 29 |
it's not recognizing them as devices containing filesystems, at all. |

In a few days, I'll have mine setup and be playing around with it, so may |
| 32 |
or may not be able to confirm the issue then, but I expect to be able to |
| 33 |
trace it if I do have it. (Note that I'm running ~amd64 and the |
| 34 |
1.12.0-rc's of baselayout. I don't expect I'd be reverting to stable, if |
| 35 |
the issue's happening there.) |
