There's nothing "in" the journal to reply, because there was a clean shutdown. In my case there is. Every time.
Now if you get a long list of what is being replayed then you know that your shutdown wasn't really clean, that the file system wasn't properly unmounted.
That was my whole point -- my apologies that it wasn't clear enough. The server is always shutdown properly, either from the KDM menu entries or from the command-line.
If that's the case then you should investigate WHY the file system isn't being properly unmounted on shutdown.
That's the aspect of the question being discussed in the bug I referred to (and commented on).
I would suggest, then. doing a shut-down like this. a) do an 'init 3' to get out of the DM mode. b) one by one, unmount the file systems You will find you can't because of running processes Identify what those are with 'fuser' Item (b) is easier for me 'cos I have lots of file systems /usr /usr/share /usr/share/doc /use/lib /home/anton/Documents ..... /tmp /opt Running LVM makes this a lot easier :-) Of course this gives me practice in tracking down file system problems since I have less-than-critical ones to c) do an 'init 1' You should now have none of those processes :-) Try un-mounting. Then mounting again. This isn't a 'cure', its just to give more insight into what's going on. I'm not proposing it as a normal form of shut-down, but just so you can investigate what is happening. Personally, I think your file systems are overloaded. There are some security issues (go google) with having the /tmp on the same FS as /bin and /sbin. Its also useful so you don't get an aberrant processes filling up /tmp=/ and freezing your system. -- "If I must write the truth, I am disposed to avoid every assembly of bishops; for of no synod have I seen a profitable end, but rather an addition to than a diminution of evils; for the love of strife and the thirst for superiority are beyond the power of words to express." -- Father Gregory Nazianzen, 381 AD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
