SD-card having mount point in fstab are not unmounted at halt/reboot time

[Benoît Rouits]

Binary package hint: sysvinit

configuration on EEEpc 700 4G (701) ubunu jaunty netbook-remix:
$ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sdb1 on /home type ext2 (rw,relatime)
[...]

sdb1 is a removable SD-card on the EEEpc.

# /etc/init.d/umoutfs stop works when called by hand: sdb1 is unmounted, but:
when halting or rebooting (telinit 0 or 6) sdb1 is not umounted.

result:
sdb1 is fsck-ized at each boot time.

If one umounts sdb1 by hand then halt, reboot works without fsck-ing sdb1.

asking for more info welcomed to fix the bug.

Mounting and unmounting are handled by initscripts, not by Upstart

[Benoît Rouits (brouits)]

this bug appear in numerous distros having a recent kernel, this is probably not bound to initscripts, but to the kernel, or devicekit.
