/home not unmounting during shutdown?

Hi,
If I shutdown the computer using "init 5/ init 6" or "shutdown -y -i5 / shutdown -y -i6" from my user account (after doing su ofcourse) I get the following error messages:
umount: /home/girish busy
umount: /home busy
cannot unmount: '/export/home': device busy
cannot unmount: '/export': device busy
/export/home is a local directory and appears to be mounted as a loopback FS (lofi).
But if I logout -> login as root -> init 5 then I don't get these error messages.
Why is /home not getting unmounted? or are these just harmless messages?

Right. Because your account is still running, the umount cannot succeed at that point.
During shutdown the system will attempt to unmount filesystems. Some might not succeed due to running programs. That's generally okay though. At the end of the shutdown it will still cleanly unmount all local filesystems. For the most part, this is a harmless message.

  • Error during Tiger install, disk utility (DVD) says could not unmount disk

    OK, I'll start at the beginning. I was running 10.3.9 on my iMac G4. I hooked up a new firewire external HD. Transferred my iTunes music over, everything worked fine. Ran software update to make some updates (iTunes, Quicktime, Security Update, maybe another one) that I had been putting off because I had been out of space. That's when the problems began. It said I could not install updates, so I restarted. Then it hung up at Login Window starting. I did a few hard shutdowns (holding down power button) to try again, but was unsuccessful.
    Read all the forums. Decided that I should have repaired permissions, etc. before installing the updates. So I started in single-user mode, ran FSCK, all that stuff, following the instructions very closely. Still kept hanging up at Login Window. So I started up from the Panther install disk, repaired permissions (made a bunch of repairs) and checked hard drive (said no repairs necessary). Restarted, still hung up at Login Window starting.
    So I did an archive and install. There were errors near the end of the Panther install, and it said it could not finish. But the computer started up OK, and I was able to back up all my personal data onto the external HD.
    So I decided to upgrade to Tiger, thinking that would fix everything. During the upgrade, it said there were errors installing files and to try again. Did so, same result. The computer did start up in Tiger, but clearly was not operating at full capacity (slow, some things didn't work).
    So I decided to erase and install. Again, said there were errors and to try again. Did so twice, same result. Started up from the Tiger DVD and ran Disk Utility. When I clicked Repair Hard Drive, it said "could not unmount drive."
    So now I am stuck. I have a wiped hard drive. Can't repair it, and can't get Tiger to install properly. Help!
    (i do have an Apple store in town, but I haven't gone to the Genius Bar. Wasn't sure how that worked.)
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hmmm. And you're sure that when you select the main
    hard drive entry in Disk Utility it shows a SMART
    status report that says "Not supported"? That's
    really odd because your model isn't too old to have a
    drive that doesn't support SMART.
    Yep, looking at it right now. I've got the drive that says "38.2 GB ST3408..." selected, and it says "Not Supported."
    By any chance would you have another external
    Firewire drive on which you could install Tiger? If
    you do, then you could try installing Tiger on that
    drive. If you can then boot the iMac from the
    external drive you could then try cloning the system
    from the external drive to the internal drive.
    I have the one external HD firewire drive. It has my backed up files on it. Could I still install Tiger on it without erasing those files?
    You could do the same thing from another Mac if both
    support Firewire. You could boot the iMac into Target Disk Mode while it's connected to
    another Mac's Firewire port. You could then clone
    from the other Mac to the iMac's hard drive that will
    appear on the Desktop of the other Mac.
    And I do have another Mac, which I am typing on right now. It's sitting right next to my "sick" iMac. If I recall correctly, it's an iMac DV special edition. It does have a firewire port and I think it has a DVD drive. It's running 9.0 currently.
    You can use the Restore option of Disk Utility to do
    the cloning. The process is as follows:
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the source or startup volume from the left
    side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Drag the source or startup volume to the Source
    entry field.
    5. Select the destination or backup volume from the
    leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry
    field.
    6. Check the box to Erase Destination. Skip this
    step if you've already formatted the drive.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the
    Restore button.
    So should I use the firewire external HD or the old iMac to do this? (Thanks so, so much for all this help, by the way. I really appreciate it. I love my iMac and want to save it! I have to go cook dinner right now, but I'll come back later to check your answer and try your suggestion.)

    My macbook pro (10.6.8 version) the screen turns blue, can not operate, forced shutdown, I installed the windows 7 Home Basic version.

    To fix your issue is too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state, then hopefully achieve the goals you were attempting.
    I advise you hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
    Have them look at your Wifi and computer backup proceedures in the process.
    Good Luck.

  • My WD 2tb external hard drive will not unmount from my MacBook Pro.

    My WD 2tb external hard drive will not unmount from my MacBook Pro. It no longer even shows up in finder, however it does show up in Disk Utility. I have tired so many of the suggestions on the internet all to a fail.
    I keep getting the message to be sure that all applications are closed before ejecting the drive. I have no clue how to tell which appliactions are using the external drive to shut them off. I turned off Time Machiene to be safe. 
    I don't need anything on the external drive, I am just trying to erase it, save my current info, and migrate it to my new MacBook Pro.
    I have been about four days now with this issue all over the internet, in this community, and watching videos on everything and nothing about this topic to a fail.
    I think I am doomed and have lossed this external drive because of some wierd application that will NEVER close on my hard drive for it to disconnect correctly. It's annoying.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Have you trie using another USB port? Can you test the USB ports with other USB devices to assure they are working? You may want to reinstall OS X in case there has been a driver glitch.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Strange icon during shutdown...

    Does anyone else have a strange icon flash on the display for a fraction of a second during shutdown? I running 10.5.1 on my 15" MBP 2.16 Core Duo and have noticed a real weird icon that only shows up occasionally during shutdown. It usually blinks on and off too fast to really see what it is, but I think it is sort of like the symbol on the command key and has a red X across it. I don't have any issues with the MBP with the exception of some files that Disk Utility is having trouble with when I repair permissions which seems to take a long time. It gets to a point where it says time remaining is less than a minute, but keeps going and going for another 3-5 minutes after displaying this:

    Anyone seen this before or have any thoughts?

    Thanks for the tip.
    I did as you suggested and the permissions issue is fully resolved. Never had an issue using the Software Update pane, but I'll file the in my overloaded brain for another time.
    I haven't seen the strange icon during shutdown again, but I did identify it as the icon for a piece of software called KeyCue. It shows keyboard shortcuts for the active application by holding down the Command key for about 2 seconds.
    Thanks again!

  • IMac hangs up during shutdown

    My iMacs (2006 + late 2007) occasionally lockup during shutdown. After the desktop icons are gone but the desktop photo remains with the spinning pinwheel. Eventually I force a shutdown by holding down the power button. On restart, everything is back to normal. Sometimes I have waited for 2 hours and the machine has not shut down - only gone to sleep.

    Same problem here, but it hangs all the time, not only 10-20% of the shutdown. I let it there for about 2 hours, nothing changed.
    I have no idea if this is time machine related, but if it is, it's a bug. Apple can't wan't me to check the sys prefs every time i shut down my iMac...
    By the way it's a two week old iMac which replaced my older one. I moved all the data by reinstalling leopard on the new iMac and telling the installer to rebuilt the system from the time machine data of my old iMac... Maybe something went wrong there.

  • System freeze during shutdown

    I have noticed a couple of times that during shutdown immediately when plymouth kicks in the system just freezes. It is not leaving behind any logs. And it does not occur often. I use kde 4.4 rc2 from kde-mod. But this occurs after kdm quits and plymouth kicks in.
    Anyone else facing the same issue? Any ideal how I can debug this?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    To follow on from the advice re ensuring the driver is the latest version before attempting any other fix, if the problem continues, it is by far better to have the system shutdown gracefully by pulling the USB connection than to shutdown by removing power! At worst, disconnecting the USB cable would do no more than cause problems to the system's printer setup files or print queues, but disconnecting the power COULD cause significant damage to directory and file structure on the hard drive, and actually result in the system being unable to boot.

  • SMB Share Does Not Unmount Through Finder

    I have a case where a particular user's home directory will not unmount through the Finder. It keeps complaining that the volume is in use although nothing is running or[apparently] accessing it. However, if I use 'sudo umount FRED$' the volume will unmount.
    Any idea why this would occur or what to look for? Is there any way to isolate the lock handle the Finder is seeing?
    Setup:
    Windows 2003 SP1 Server
    OS X 10.4.8
    Repeatable with MacBook Pro, Powermac G5, Powerbook G4

    Might be those irksome DOT files, (.trash, .DS_Store, etc.), or maybe even some Files with Resource Forks?

  • What happen during shutdown database

    Dear All,
    i have a questions and i enclosed some suggestions for the answer because I'm confused about the answers :
    What happens during shutdown oracle database :
    and the suggested answer :
    1- When shutdown the database with NORMAL or IMMEDIATE option : the database system writes check point before shutting down the database .
    2- when you shutdown the database with the IMMEDIATE , option , open transaction are rolled back before the database is shutdown .
    3- shutting down the database with abort always requires an instance recovery at the next startup .
    please suggest the right answer .
    Regards
    Anwar

    First of all shutdown has 4 options
    1.Normal
    2.Immediate
    3.Transactional
    4.Abort
    Default is normal
    Normal: No new connections are allowed. Database and redo buffers are written into disk.Database is closed.
         Backgroud process are terminated.SGA is deallocated. Until and unless all users disconnect, database wont be closed.
    Transactional: No client can start a new transaction. Clients get disconnected once their transactions are completed.
         Database and redo buffers are written into disk.Database is closed.Backgroud process are terminated.SGA is deallocated.
    Immediate: Current running SQL are not completed. Oracle does not wait for users to disconnect.
         All active transactions are rolled back.Database and redo buffers are written into disk.
         Database is closed.Backgroud process are terminated.SGA is deallocated.
    Abort: All users are disconnected.Database and redo buffers are NOT written into disk.
    All background processes are killed instantly and instance is abruptly terminated.

  • J2EE Does Not Start During JAVA Add-In Installation

    I'm installing Java Add-In onto ERP 2004 (Windows 2000, Oracle 9.2, Java 2 SDK 1.4.2_08).
    The J2EE does not start during the installation. It gives up after some time. java -version shows the correct path.
    dev_jcontrol shows the following:
    [Thr 2624] Tue Aug 02 09:49:32 2005

    In that case, do u have multiple versions of JDKs installed ?
    Maybe some earlier version is installed too ! In that case there is a program that comes along with the JDK to choose the version of the JDK that needs to be loaded into memory.
    We faced this problem when we were doing our stints with JAVA Add-In wherein the system required the newest version of java where as some tool which was installed on the system required the older version.
    So we used the java program to select the version to be loaded whenever the operating system tried loading the jdk.

  • User tablespace did not copy during cold backup

    Can anybody explain why this happened and how to fix?
    I was doing regular weekly coldbackup and all other tablespaces got copied except user tablespace. I can not find any error in alert log and windows event log. The file size is 25G. Any idea?
    Thanks

    The original poster has declared that this a cold backup, so presumably no BEGIN/END BACKUP involved here. Further, how would those commands do anything to cause a backup script to SKIP the files for a tablespace?
    As for the OP's problem, I will guess that this is occurring on Windows. Because the default flag that Windows programs use to open files often specify exclusivity, many backup scripts and packages will not be able to open (or copy) a file that is open by another process. Notably, if the backup is hitting such a problem it should be receiving (and hopefully logging) and error.
    I can't guess what other program might have had the files open, but if Oracle did not successfully shut down completely, or if some threads failed to exit during shutdown, you would end up with some files with open filehandles. That would prevent commands like COPY from working on those files.
    Solutions (if this is windows and my theory holds water) would include:
    - Providing exception handling in the cold backup script to verify that Oracle has shutdown completely and that no Oracle threads remain.
    - Switching to ocopy.exe (Oracle nonexclusive copy program for Windows) so that the backup would not fail on files with open filehandles. I guess this is a little reckless since the database could be open and the cold backup could proceed heedless of that fact.
    - Use process explorer to track down what program has the files open after shutdown.
    Hope this helps,

  • "Ignore Sessions During Shutdown" and "Graceful Shutdown Sequence"

    Hi
    I have J2EE application consisting of WEB and EJB layers deployed on WL 8.1
    I start the Graceful Shutdown Sequence with Ignore Sessions During Shutdown option set. sessionDestroyed() method of registered HttpSessionListener is fired but at this moment JNDI tree is already empty, EJB module undeployed and the listener is not able to get to application's EJBs.
    In the documentation (http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/adminguide/overview_lifecycle.html#1045901) Ignore Sessions During Shutdown option is explained as follows:
    "If you enable this option WebLogic Server will drop all HTTP sessions immediately, rather than waiting for them to complete or timeout."
    What does "drop" mean here? Is this some exception to Graceful Shutdown Sequence and the following excerpt from the documentation? : "During a graceful shutdown, subsystems complete in-flight work and suspend themselves in a specific sequence and in a synchronized fashion, so that back-end subsystems like JDBC connection pools are available when front-end subsystems are suspending themselves."

  • Time Machine Backup Fails - backup disk is unmounted during backup

    I've been having trouble on and off with Time Mahcine backups.  I have an iMac running Lion, an external USB HD which is my Time Machine disk.  It will run fine for a day or so and then fail with the "Unable to complete backup.  An error occurred while creating the backup folder".  If I run the Time Machine Buddy utility it shows the follwing error log:
    Starting standard backup
    Backing up to: /Volumes/Media/Backups.backupdb
    Error: (22) setxattr for key:com.apple.backupd.HostUUID path:/Volumes/Media/Backups.backupdb/Kitchen size:37
    Backup failed with error: 2
    Stopping backup to allow backup destination disk to be unmounted or ejected.
    Backup failed because the destination disk was ejected or disconnected unexpectedly!
    Any idea why the backup disk would be unmounted during the backup?

    I have had a related problem.
    Over the last three-four years of using TimeMachine I have had FOUR (4) disk drives fail on me. In the first instance, the power supply failed twice. Switching from connection via Firewire to USB seemed to solve that problem.
    Then in May 2011 I bought TWO x Freecom HD 1 TB portable drives, I indicated to the Apple retailer, YooBee, expressly for use as TimeMachine backups.
    They have both FAILED for me, as per the description below, which I have filed on the Freecom support site.
    So FOUR disk drives failing over 3 to 4 years is beyond bad luck, beyond coincidence, but 'conspiracy' as Churhill might have put it. The common factor is that all four disks failed 'on watch' as being my TimeMachine drives. I am VERY ALARMED at his rate of failure, and wonder if there is a fault with TimeMachine in burning out the disks through some feature of excess use?
    I note the detailed advice here is pertinent ... but I've only just found it!

    I was absolutely assured by my Apple Mac (YooBee, 123 Broadway, Newmarket) store that these drives would be perfect for TimeMachine backup. But to have TWO fail within 8 months of purchase is very, very, very alarming. One failing is bad luck. Two failing is more than coincidence....
    There was an alarming clicking noise from the disks.
    Disks were disconncted from USB.
    Message from Mac saying USB drive disconnected incorrctly. I DID NOTHING: Timemachine was just in the middle of doing a backup, perhaps. I was just working away when I noticed the tiny noise, above.

    Well: the Freecom is not able to be remounted, even after plugging, and replugging the USB.
    This happened with TWO drives.
    And despite the suggestion to backup the files NONE are accessible.
    This is NOT what I expect to have happen with drives expressly purchased for use as TimeMachine backups.
    I managed to reformat the one that first failed, about two months after purchase. I have not attempted to reformat the latest failure-- and loose my complete Timemachine backup. Naturally, I don't use the reformatted disk for Timemachine, but a Vault for Aperture.

  • Chkconfig not working on OEL 5.7 (services are not stopped during reboot)

    Hi all,

    /etc/init.d/oradb start - Tue Dec 6 12:01:14 CET 2011
    /etc/init.d/oradb stop - Tue Dec 6 12:01:23 CET 2011
    but if I do a reboot, I see that my script has not been called during system shutdown :
    [root@srv-db5 ~]#
    [root@srv-db5 ~]# cat /tmp/oradb.log
    /etc/init.d/oradb start - Tue Dec 6 12:01:14 CET 2011
    /etc/init.d/oradb stop - Tue Dec 6 12:01:23 CET 2011
    /etc/rc5.d/S99oradb start - Tue Dec 6 12:03:50 CET 2011
    [root@srv-db5 ~]#

    Perhaps the problem isn't your dbora script, but some other stop script that stops the shutdown execution, or e.g. removing the dbora file inside the /var/lock/subsys directory, and then when K10dbora is involved, it believes dbora is not running and hence does not need to be shut down.
    See if you have anything in /etc/rc0.d that might conflict with the K10dbora script.
    What happens if you change:
    # chkconfig: 35 99 10
    to
    # chkconfig: 35 99 01
    and reconfigure, so that the dbora script is called before K02, etc.?

  • Extreme Inner Edges of Photo Not Selected During Editing ?

    The extreme inner edges of my photos are not effected during editing....so i end up with this undesired border going all the way around the photo...the very inner edges of the photo don't edit....resulting in a border....it's not noticeable on a white background...but on a black background it's very noticeable...any ideas ? Thanks !

    Never heard that one before.
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
