[SOLVED] PC do not shutdown properly

[baupres]

Hi there,
I have enjoyed installing PClinuxOS in many PCs since 2007 but in my last install I have found the PC is unable to complete shutdown properly. When trying to shutdown I think most of the processes are finished but the screen is stuck with the PCLinuxOS logo and I have to force a hardware shoutdown (pressing the button for 4 seconds). I run an updated PCLinuxOS 2010 KDE4. The PC is a Dell Vostro 200 Intel E8400, 3Gb Ram,  ATI Radeon HD2400xt. The PC is usually has a smb share mount in a windows 2003 server but no domain is used (only a workgroup).
Otherwise PCLinuxOS works smoothly and fast in this PC.

Can anyone give me a hand with this issue?

Hi baupres,

only some hint: at time of shutdown, if you press ESC key you should see at what stage your shutdown process hangs.

You report that you are using a SMB share and I remember to have read about some issues related to unmounting network filesystems...
then you could try yo disable the SMB service, then reboot the machine, and retry the shutdown.

OK, we have found the problem. On shutdown it shows:

Code: [Select]

-f umount: /home: device is busy FAILED
Then manually unmounting the smb share before shutdown provides a clean and straightforward shutdown

Thanks a lot, AS
