Bug Description
This output is copied from here: https:/
because I have not been able to capture the error messages. However what I am seeing is identical.
sd-umoun[2406]: Failed to unmount /oldroot: Device or resource busy
sd-umoun[2407]: Failed to unmount /oldroot/dev/pts: Device or resource busy
sd-umoun[2408]: Failed to unmount /oldroot/dev: Device or resource busy
shutdown[1]: Failed to finalize file systems, ignoring
This has happened consistently since I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 two weeks ago, and is really annoying. Is there an actual problem or is it just noise that can be safely ignored?
The only other thing referencing oldroot in its config was snap, which I have completely uninstalled to isolate the problem.
/lib/systemd/
# strings systemd-shutdown |grep old
/oldroot
sigprocmask(
sigprocmask(
I have never had an /oldroot mount and there isn't one now. I gather it is something the upgrade process might create, or it could perhaps be something broken in finalrd.
Bin Li, who posted the above error to the systemd bug portal, got short shrift there and was told to contact the distro. So I am, as my version of systemd is 245, same as his. This problem is 100% repeateable and I see it every time I shutdown or restart.
