So the good news about 10.04.2's shutdown/reboot is that now that upstart can re-exec itself again, further issues should be solvable without rebooting. The bad news is there's quite a few updates that need to be done to protect filesystems on shutdown/reboot: * umountroot needs to wait for init to re-exec itself - addressed in this bug itself, James Hunt is working on that at the moment. * portmap needs to stop after umountnfs - bug #711425 * ssh needs to be restarted on libc6 upgrades - bug #531912 * umountfs needs to wait for all stopping services to stop. bug #616287 > On my laptop I see upstart as upgradeable, but the required version of > libc6" for that package is not available.

See comment #46 from Colin Watson. Looks like the Breaks: field that was added is actually working to keep peoples' systems from.. well.. breaking. :) Jimmy it would be great if you could enable proposed for your laptop and verify that the upgrade works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/672177 Title: libc6 upgrade causes umount to fail on shutdown because init cannot be restarted -- 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
