Bug Description

Binary package hint: friendly-recovery

I run with /usr on a lvm volume, and / on its own RAID1 md device, which is GRUB-bootable. I wanted to xfs_admin my /usr, but friendly-recovery leaves open files on /usr (e.g. /usr/share/recovery-mode/options/root) when dropping to a root shell, e.g. after a "sudo shutdown now".

 Oh well, I guess I'll just uninstall it, or I could boot with init=/bin/bash. Until now it never actually got in my way, and I kept it around to see how user-friendly Ubuntu was getting for newbies... Hmm, xfs_admin lives in /usr, but -c1 runs xfs_repair -c lazycount=1, and xfs_repair lives on the root fs... I had to copy xfs_db to /root/bin, but then I was good to go after uninstalling friendly-recovery.
