I'm using mysql-server-5.1 on a 10.04 LTS installation.
The mysql db is around 27GB and on a separate partition mounted as /var/lib/mysql.

On shutdown I get the following error message:

Checking for running unattended-upgrades: * Asking all remaining processes to terminate...

[74G[ OK ]

On the next reboot the file system is corrupt and need to be fsck-ed.

I think the problem is, that mysql uses an upstart job (/etc/init/mysql.conf) and has
stop on runlevel [016]

The rc.conf job is also triggered on runlevel 0 and 6, so they basically run at the same time.As

When /etc/rc0.d/S20sendsigs is run, it deliberatly does not wait or kill any upstart jobs.

As my mysqld process takes some time to shutdown, S40umountfs and S60umountroot are run before the mysqld has quit.

Leading to the fs not being properly unmounted. It is event possible that mysqld is forcefully killed by halt in S90halt if it hasn't stopped by then.

This is a serious issue, as it can (and will) lead to data loss.

Other upstart jobs, like rsyslog.conf, use the same "stop on runlevel [016]" stanza, so they are probably affected too.
