This script basically does an 'umount -a -r'. now from man umount: -r In case unmounting fails, try to remount read-only. so if you had to change anything to accomplish this then mount needs a bug reported against it, i can say that umount -a -r works as documented in potato since my chroot partition always fails to umount since umount -a seems to not bother with the extra /proc mounted under there... i simply get a warning that umount failed, remounting ro and it works, no fsck etc. > The umount still fails but since the drive isn't read-write on the reboot, > no fsck on next boot. yes this should be standard behavior under unmodified debian. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
