[Bug 1464917] Re: reboot hangs at 'Reached target Shutdown'

[xtrchessreal]

Tokes,
Your description of behavior is exactly as mine.  The longer up time the more it is likely to hang.  Also when it hangs the cpu begins to crunch a lot of operations and the fan starts higher and higher rpm.  I get the same fan behavior when I 'sudo swapoff -a' as stated above prior to my shutdown as I do when I simply try to shutdown without running 'sudo swapoff -a' command.  
The difference is the shutdown completes as it should  if I take the time to run 'sudo swapoff -a' and wait for it to complete.
Swap management does seem to be pointing toward the direction of the issue.

Title:
  reboot hangs at 'Reached target Shutdown'

Status in systemd:
  New
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I rebooted my 15.04 system, and found it hanging indefinitely at the
  plymouth shutdown screen.  Hitting esc to reveal the console showed a
  normal set of shutdown messages, ending with 'Reached target Shutdown'
  (paraphrased from memory).

  The system never rebooted on its own.  I had to use SysRq to finish
  the shutdown.
