[Bug 229798] Re: SDHC /home not properly umounted at shutdown on Eee PC

[Dan Kortschak]

Yes, I still have that hardware. Yes, the problem is still exhibited.
The current install is 10.04 and will probably stay that for the
forseeable life of the current universe, so I doubt a fix will be
forthcoming.

Five years is a pretty slow turn around.

Title:
  SDHC /home not properly umounted at shutdown on Eee PC

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sysvinit

  Eee PC with hardy install does not properly umount all volumes at
  shutdown. On reboot /dev/sdb1 (/home - a SDHC card mounted by UUID at
  boot) nearly always (>90% of time) requires fsck, reporting "/dev/sdb1
  not cleanly unmounted..."

  This problem has been noted with Mandriva on the Eee as seen at
  <http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=251599>. The fix as
  described at that page is not applicable to the hardy initscripts, but
  placing the `sync; sync; sync; sleep 3' in rc.localstop does not fix
  problem.
