I was working with someone on another issue recently, and he pointed out a situation where someone had used this:
start on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06] to run a specific task before the system shut down. It got me thinking, should we instead just transition services that need to start before shutdown to stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016] That would cause these jobs to stop fully before any of the bits of the shutdown run. They'd still shutdown in parallel, so it wouldn't make the shutdown slower. I do think you have to do *all* services like this. Even one left holding deleted libraries open can still ruin the shutdown process. Anyway, I like this even shorter term solution because it allows us to SRU individual problem daemons such as mysql without creating a new event. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-5.1 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/688541 Title: race condition on shutdown (leads to corrupted fs) -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
