Painfully slow "Unmounting file systems" at shutdown

I am using autofs to mount a CIFS share over a network. When I shutdown/reboot, the system hangs with "Unmounting file system" for a very long time (e.g. 2 minutes) before doing so.
My situation requires that the mountpoint might be in use when shutdown is commenced. It looks to me as if umount is waiting for something which is not happening.
I am using pure-systemd setup.

I have almost the same problem. I got a NFS share in fstab and it also hangs for around 2 minutes on shutdown/reboot.
fstab
192.168.0.10:/media/heddson /home/maxim/pogo-heddson nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=2min 0 0
Don't know exactly how autofs works, but for me I beleve the problem was that my user didn't have the rights to unmount that share. Since root is running fstab, then only root can unmount it. My solution was to shutdown/reboot as root or add users in fstab (which allows every user to unmount it).
Hope some of this can help. I should also point out that sometimes my regular user is able to reboot without it hanging.. So it's possible I missed something.

    #"zoneds" does not exist, so I am guessing that is the problem. I'm wondering if it is safe for me to delete them.
    Mark

    Hmmm... I haven't run into this with ZFS.
    For UFS, this should work:
    luumount -f sol10_1008_SAPC20090813
    Alternative to that, you could do a force delete of the BE (ludelete -f sol10_1008_SAPC20090813) and remove the ZFS entries manually.
    I have also resorted to hand-editing the zone configuration files, but that's not exactly a recommended practice ;-)

  • New Kernel - stuck after unmounting file system

    Hello,
    I upgraded my kernel and I think that since then I'm having problems shuting down and rebooting. I get the screen where all the processes are being closed and when it comes to the "unmounting file system" it stucks.
    I have a fairly strightforward system - ext3 for my linux partition and NTFS for my windows, both automaticly mounted, NTFS read only.
    After I waited a few times I just have to manually shut down the computer. Not very healthy I believe.
    If anyone encountered the problem or has any advice I'd welcome it.
    Thank you,
    Grey

    i have the exact same problem, and it has been like this for a week i tought it was only me but surprises me that its not just me.
    the thing is like this when u mount the ntfs filesystem if u dont read from the discs u can umount them but ir u read from them my machine freezes when it comes to the umount command !!
    Im just a newbie in linux so i have no idea why this is but i have no problems at all with the reiserfs , ext3 mounts , only the ntfs is screwed up
    kernel 2.6.12 , udev 062-1
    when i installed from the cd i had no problems at all but , a week ago i formated all and did a ftp install , and i start having this problem.

  • TC - Painfully Slow for file transfer. How to solve it (PC + MAC) ?

    I have a dell laptop and a mac book air, both connected to my TC. Transferring files is a joke. I am a novei mac user. How can this slowness issue be fixed for both the pc and mac? As I am writing this, i am currently doing a software update on my macbook air, getting 10.5.3 now. Does this solve it?

    Similar problem here.
    iMac using 802.11n to connect to time capsule. Time capsule configured to use 802.11n (b/g compat), and WPA/WPA2 security.
    Typical transfer rate (file transfer from imac to tc) of about 2Mbps. After reboot of the TC, speed can sometimes hit 6Mbps.
    I have played with the security settings. After a softboot with new config:
    - no security, 802.11n mode: 12Mbps throughput
    - WEP security, 802.11n mode: 8Mbps
    - WPA/WPA2 security, 802.11n mode: 6Mbps
    Enabling interference robustness seems to have little or no effect.
    All of these speeds are significantly lower than what I'd expect.
    No other devices were on the wireless network during the testing.
    I've read that alot of others are having similar issues. I suspect that most of these devices are running extremely slowly, but most people aren't bothering to check throughput.
    Would love to know if there is a real fix out there. 802.11n should be much much faster than this. If I could reconfigure the TC to use 802.11g, I would.

    This seems a bit harsh. I interpreted that post as a "Here's a solution. I haven't looked into why this works and the other way doesn't so I can't give you an explanation. But my solution may work for you to." That's not asking somebody else to do your research for you. It is just explaining that you have no interest in a particular line of research. Otherwise, anybody who knows a solution but cannot explain why it works will have to refrain from sharing that information or at least prove that they have researched an explanation with no success. Since there are likely lots of cases in which people care enough to find a solution but not enough to chase down why it works, I think that would make the forums less helpful than they might otherwise be. It's one thing to try to get other people to build your house for you because you can't be bothered. It is quite another to limit your efforts to making a tent because you prefer camping.

  • How to run something on shutdown before file systems unmounted

    I've been trying to get kexec working with systemd, following the advice on this wiki page:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kexec#Systemd
    Unfortunately, the suggested unit file does not work for me.  The problem is that no matter what I do, my /boot file system gets unmounted before kexec gets run (so that it cannot find the kernel).  I've tried adding most subsets of the following to the Unit section of my [email protected] file, all to no avail:
    Before=shutdown.target umount.target final.target
    RequiresMountsFor=/boot/vmlinuz-linux
    Wants=boot.mount
    After=boot.mount
    If I run "systemctl start kexec-load@linux" followed by "systemctl kexec", everything works fine.  But if I forget to do the former, then the kexec fails.
    Anyway, I'm finding it super frustrating not to be able to control the order of events on shutdown.  There has to be a way to do it, but absolutely nothing I've tried seems to make any difference.  On startup I can obviously control things, so I could have some dummy service that does nothing on start but on stop calls kexec.  But I don't want kexec called on an ordinary reboot or poweroff, only after "systemctl kexec."
    If someone could tell me how to do what I need to do, I would much appreciate it.

    use:
    FileOutputStream data_Stream = new FileOutputStream(data_File, true);The second argument is the append flag and is false by default.

  • SCVMM 2012 R2 VM on SMB 3.0 file share cloning is not offloaded and painfully slow

    I setup a test environment, it appears the SCVMM always use BITS to clone VM that was painfully slow
    SCVMM1: SCVMM 2012 R2 with the latest windows update
    VHOST1 and VHOST2: Hyper-V Host. Windows Server 2012 R2 with the latest update
    SERVER1: Windows File server, with Windows Server 2012 R2 with the latest update. The storage is a single 512GB SSD.
    All VMs are located at a file share on SERVER1, the share is managed by SCVMM1 also.
    All computers have plenty of RAM (8G+) and modern processor. The individual I/O benchmark on SERVER1 is typical SSD speed.  Each VHOST has dedicated NIC for VM use. Each
    server has two gigabit NICs on same switch for data.
    The step to reproduce:
    1. Create a Windows 7 x86 VM on VHOST1 and install OS on it.  The VM is placed on the SERVER1 file share.  It runs well. no problem, VM performance is good.
    2. In SCVMM console, right clicks the VM and select "Create Clone", the deployment target is on the same SMB share as the source VM.  
    Actual:  It appears SCVMM clone the VM files with BITS, it is painfully slow. All data travel through network. Estimated 30 minutes for 30GB file!
    Expected result: SCVMM uses SMB 3.0 to make the copy. The source and destination are on the same SMB 3.0 share. The transfer of data should be offloaded by SERVER1, instead of reading all data then write it back cross network. (And from unknown reason the
    BITS is even much slower than network file copy).
    Did I miss anything? Any way to force SCVMM to do such offload copy?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi acacac1,
    >>Actual:  It appears SCVMM clone the VM files with BITS, it is painfully slow. All data travel through network. Estimated 30 minutes for 30GB file!
    Did you try to disable BITS then clone the VM again for test ?

    Dear Adobe.
    Yesterday I installed the latest version of Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so I can uninstall the latest version only. Thank you.

  • File system corrupted *after* it was unmounted

    Hi all,
    I'd be interested in any opinions on this problem.
    I recently bought a 1TB Samsung Story Station 3 usb hard drive for use with Time Machine.
    This model of drive has a power switch on the front. Most of the time I don't need hourly backups so my plan is to leave the drive turned off most of the time and only turn it on when I feel the need for automatic hourly backups.
    A beautiful setup... except... The file system keeps getting corrupted and it is not always repairable.
    What is happening?
    My procedure is to eject the disk then switch off the drive.
    About half the time an immediate disk verify will report that the disk requires repair.
    I have tried variations of this with very similar results. Here is a typical failure scenario:-
    1 - Start Time Machine "Back Up Now"
    2 - Let it copy some data then stop the backup (if necessary)
    3 - Eject the disk
    4 - Switch off the drive
    5 - Switch on the drive
    6 - Verify
    Variations on the theme...
    I have tried the drive with and without a bootable image restored to it and therefore with and without journalling on the file system (I believe).
    1, 2 - I have tried copying data using finder instead of using time machine.
    3 - I have tried umount -f and diskutil unmount
    Note that umount without -f reports the drive is busy but other ejection/unmount mechanisms work.
    Is this related?
    The only thing that may have made a difference is that powering down the mac, instead of just the drive, after ejection has not yet resulted in a damaged file system.
    The obvious conclusion to draw is that a buffer somewhere is not being flushed before I turn off the drive, but is this buffer in OS X or in the drive itself?
    In either case I assume other people are having the same problem.
    For now I will just leave the drive turned on all the time. Maybe this is what everyone else does so nobody else has sees the problem.

    I need help with my MP3 Player. This is the second one I have bought and it keeps going to 'File System Corrupted'. Its an RCA MP3 Player. Holds 5GB's. My first one lasted about 6 months and this one only 3 months. I don't drop it. Like maybe once, but on a soft floor and its never been thrown or beaten on. No marks on it from being dropped or hit on anything. Also I can't get it to respond to my computer. I plug it in and says, 'File System Corrupted'. There needs to be like a way to fix it. Other wise the people who built it are getting money easily with a device that works only a short limited amount of time. I've pressed my power button and held it for 0 seconds. Nothing happens. I'm really annoyed with this device. I've waited much money on it. Is there at all a way to fix it. ~Dark Warrior~

  • Why is my file system slow to respond?

    I'm currently running Snow Leopard an early 2011 Macbook Pro.  The laptop also runs Intel's 320 SSD as its primary storage.
    I've noticed recently that my file system appears to be running slow and by that, I mean if I try to Save a file from the web, save a document from Office, or a photo from Photoshop, the prompt that lets me select where to store the file takes about 10 seconds to pop up.  Everything else with the system runs pretty fast.  The computer still boots up quickly as an SSD does.  Opening programs takes one bounce or so... but the saving a file prompt across the board has been extremely slow.
    Since I'm not sure where to start for troubleshooting, I'm just wondering if anyone else has observed something similar.  I really don't want to upgrade to Lion so that's not an option for me.  Is there anything else I can try?

    Do you have any Login Items that launch at startup? If so, disable them and see if the problem remains.
    The only two Login things that may be related to the file system are my NAS automount script and Dropbox. All of the scripts have been with me since the beginning and this only happened within the last couple of weeks I think.
    What's the capacity of your hard drive (not the SSD), and how much free space is left?
    Sorry I wasn't clear, the SSD is my primary and only hard drive in the MBP.  I've used less than half of the storage and there's still over 300GB free.  The whole setup is less than a year old.
    When did this problem first start, and did you install or update anything just prior to that time?
    If so, what exactly did you install or update?
    I suggest you download, install, and run AppleJack according to the instructions. Then test for the problem again to see if there's any improvement.
    The only thing I remember installing recently are the Apple updates that have to do with the new printer drivers.  I think I noticed things slowing down after that update... not sure if it was also slow before that.

  • Accessing Windows file share painfully slow in OS X 10.8

    Hello!
    I work with a company that has one Mac in the network - an iMac 12,2 running OS X 10.8.4.  The computer's user needs to work off of the server quite frequently - it's a Windows Server 2008 R2 server - particularly with shared files.  Problem is, when she goes to access the shared drives through the Finder, it is painfully slow.  It often takes 5-10 seconds just for a directory listing to show, and opening and manipulating files takes significantly longer.  I've tried a number of things to try to speed things up, most recently indexing the network drives she uses and installing a Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter to use instead of the regular wired network card.  That hasn't helped though.  Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so, how were you able to fix it?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Mounting the Root File System into RAM

    Hi,
    I had been wondering, recently, how can one copy the entire root hierarchy, or wanted parts of it, into RAM, mount it at startup, and use it as the root itself.  At shutdown, the modified files and directories would be synchronized back to the non-volatile storage. This synchronization could also be performed manually, before shutting down.
    I have now succeeded, at least it seems, in performing such a task. There are still some issues.
    For anyone interested, I will be describing how I have done it, and I will provide the files that I have worked with.
    A custom kernel hook is used to (overall):
    Mount the non-volatile root in a mountpoint in the initramfs. I used /root_source
    Mount the volatile ramdisk in a mountpoint in the initramfs. I used /root_ram
    Copy the non-volatile content into the ramdisk.
    Remount by binding each of these two mountpoints in the new root, so that we can have access to both volumes in the new ramdisk root itself once the root is changed, to synchronize back any modified RAM content to the non-volatile storage medium: /rootfs/rootfs_{source,ram}
    A mount handler is set (mount_handler) to a custom function, which mounts, by binding, the new ramdisk root into a root that will be switched to by the kernel.
    To integrate this hook into a initramfs, a preset is needed.
    I added this hook (named "ram") as the last one in mkinitcpio.conf. -- Adding it before some other hooks did not seem to work; and even now, it sometimes does not detect the physical disk.
    The kernel needs to be passed some custom arguments; at a minimum, these are required: ram=1
    When shutting down, the ramdisk contents is synchronized back with the source root, by the means of a bash script. This script can be run manually to save one's work before/without shutting down. For this (shutdown) event, I made a custom systemd service file.
    I chose to use unison to synchronize between the volatile and the non-volatile mediums. When synchronizing, nothing in the directory structure should be modified, because unison will not synchronize those changes in the end; it will complain, and exit with an error, although it will still synchronize the rest. Thus, I recommend that if you synch manually (by running /root/Documents/rootfs/unmount-root-fs.sh, for example), do not execute any other command before synchronization has completed, because ~/.bash_history, for example, would be updated, and unison would not update this file.
    Some prerequisites exist (by default):
        Packages: unison(, cp), find, cpio, rsync and, of course, any any other packages which you can mount your root file system (type) with. I have included these: mount.{,cifs,fuse,ntfs,ntfs-3g,lowntfs-3g,nfs,nfs4}, so you may need to install ntfs-3g the nfs-related packages (nfs-utils?), or remove the unwanted "mount.+" entires from /etc/initcpio/install/ram.
        Referencing paths:
            The variables:
                source=
                temporary=
            ...should have the same value in all of these files:
                "/etc/initcpio/hooks/ram"
                "/root/Documents/rootfs/unmount-root-fs.sh"
                "/root/.rsync/exclude.txt"    -- Should correspond.
            This is needed to sync the RAM disk back to the hard disk.
        I think that it is required to have the old root and the new root mountpoints directly residing at the root / of the initramfs, from what I have noticed. For example, "/new_root" and "/old_root".
    Here are all the accepted and used parameters:
        Parameter                       Allowed Values                                          Default Value        Considered Values                         Description

        ramfstype                       Default of "-t <types>" of "mount"           "auto"                     Any string                                      The FS type of the RAM disk.
        ramflags                         Default of "-o <options>" of "mount"        "size=50%"           Any string                                       Options when mounting the RAM disk.
        ramcleanup                    Any string                                                   None                     "0"                                                  If any left-overs should be cleaned.
        ramcleanup_source       Any string                                                   None                     "1"                                                  If the source root should be unmounted.

        ram_unison_fastcheck   true,false,default,yes,no,auto                    "default"                true,false,default,yes,no,auto        Argument to unison's "fastcheck" parameter. Relevant if ram_transfer_tool=unison.
        ramdisk_cache_use        0,1                                                              None                    0                                                      If unison should use any available cache. Relevant if ram_transfer_tool=unison.
        ramdisk_cache_update   0,1                                                              None                    0                                                     If unison should copy the cache to the RAM disk. Relevant if ram_transfer_tool=unison.
    This is the basic setup.
    Optionally:
        I disabled /tmp as a tmpfs mountpoint: "systemctl mask tmp.mount" which executes "ln -s '/dev/null' '/etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount' ". I have included "/etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount" amongst the files.
        I unmount /dev/shm at each startup, using ExecStart from "/etc/systemd/system/ram.service".
    Here are the updated (version 3) files, archived: Root_RAM_FS.tar (I did not find a way to attach files -- does Arch forums allow attachments?)
    I decided to separate the functionalities "mounting from various sources", and "mounting the root into RAM". Currently, I am working only on mounting the root into RAM. This is why the names of some files changed.
    Of course, use what you need from the provided files.
    Here are the values for the time spend copying during startup for each transfer tool. The size of the entire root FS was 1.2 GB:
        find+cpio:  2:10s (2:12s on slower hardware)
        unison:      3:10s - 4:00s
        cp:             4 minutes (31 minutes on slower hardware)
        rsync:        4:40s (55 minutes on slower hardware)
        Beware that the find/cpio option is currently broken; it is available to be selected, but it will not work when being used.
    These are the remaining issues:
        find+cpio option does not create any destination files.
        (On some older hardware) When booting up, the source disk is not always detected.
        When booting up, the custom initramfs is not detected, after it has been updated from the RAM disk. I think this represents an issue with synchronizing back to the source root.
    Inconveniences:
        Unison needs to perform an update detection at each startup.
        initramfs' ash does not parse wild characters to use "cp".
    That's about what I can think of for now.
    I will gladly try to answer any questions.
    I don't consider myself a UNIX expert, so I would like to know your suggestions for improvement, especially from who consider themselves so.

    How did you use/test unison? In my case, unison, of course, is used in the cpio image, where there are no cache files, because unison has not been run yet in the initcpio image, before it had a chance to be used during boot time, to generate them; and during start up is when it is used; when it creates the archives. ...a circular dependency. Yet, files changed by the user would still need to be traversed to detect changes. So, I think that even providing pre-made cache files would not guarantee that they would be valid at start up, for all configurations of installation. -- I think, though, that these cache files could be copied/saved from the initcpio image to the root (disk and RAM), after they have been created, and used next time by copying them in the initcpio image during each start up. I think $HOME would need to be set.
    Unison was not using any cache previously anyway. I was aware of that, but I wanted to prove it by deleting any cache files remaining.
    Unison, actually, was slower (4 minutes) the first time it ran in the VM, compared to the physical hardware (3:10s). I have not measured the time for its subsequent runs, but It seemed that it was faster after the first run. The VM was hosted on a newer machine than what I have used so far: the VM host has an i3-3227U at 1.9 GHz CPU with 2 cores/4 threads and 8 GB of RAM (4 GB ware dedicated to the VM); my hardware has a Pentium B940 at 2 GHz CPU with 2 cores/2 threads and 4 GB of RAM.
    I could see that, in the VM, rsync and cp were copying faster than on my hardware; they were scrolling quicker.
    Grub, initially complains that there is no image, and shows a "Press any key to continue" message; if you continue, the kernel panics.
    I'll try using "poll_device()". What arguments does it need? More than just the device; also the number of seconds to wait?

  • My MacBook Pro is running painfully slow all of a sudden. I am trying to clean up my iPhoto library and it's all of a sudden running really slow. I've uninstalled and disabled as many unnecessary apps as possible as far as I can tell.

    Here is the etrecheck info. Please advise... thank you!
    Problem description:
    iPhoto is running painfully slow. My library is on an external hard drive. It was runing just fine yesterday. i disabled Dropbox and a few other applications, to no avail.
