Good evening, Luis Henriques, folks.

Coming back to the Ubuntu 12.04.1 x64 system running kernel 3.2.0-36
which made me open this bug report. (cf.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1105900/comments/0):

Tonight at 19:50 the kernel was updated to K3.2.0-37.

This was to be expected because K3.2.0-36 had left behind open file
handles on shutdown.

BUT:

---grep "EXT4-fs syslog" after second boot of K3.2.0-37---
syslog:Jan 28 20:12:07 Voyager kernel: [    4.130957] EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted 
filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
syslog:Jan 28 20:12:07 Voyager kernel: [   21.736968] EXT4-fs (sda5): 
re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro
---grep "EXT4-fs syslog" after second boot of K3.2.0-37 end---

Great, no more cleanup needed on reboot. Yet, uptime had been only few
minutes. So let us try again a little later.

---grep "EXT4-fs syslog" after third boot of K3.2.0-37---
syslog:Jan 28 22:35:27 Voyager kernel: [    3.756446] EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted 
filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
syslog:Jan 28 22:35:27 Voyager kernel: [   21.520713] EXT4-fs (sda5): 
re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro
---grep "EXT4-fs syslog" after third boot of K3.2.0-37 end---

Great, again no more cleanup needed on reboot after an uptime of about
2h 23 mins.

Prelimary conclusion:
-----------------------------
There is good reason to be optimistic that K3.2.0-37 on Ubuntu 12.04.1 x64 has 
solved the problem introduced by K3.2.0-36.
Yet, two reboots are not sufficient to be sure.
Therefore, I will use this system in a normal way which implies that it will 
not be rebooted more than once a day after having been up for several hours.
I will report back after a few more days. Let us say by the end of the week.

Cheers,
Karl
