Hi,

I hope someone had similar problem. I googled for it but without success. On my laptop I have installed Debian-Lenny. Less or more all works but I have some strange problem. When I did shutdown -h now, init 0, ....the system starts to shutdown till I see the following.

" Asking all remaining processes to terminate
Killing all remainig processes ....failed ( in RED )
Stopping portmap deamons ...
" and here hungs. I need to reset machine in order to shutdown it.

I looked in var/log/messages|daenon.log|kern.log but could not to find something as hint for problem solution.
Installation is classical, and on my previous laptops I had not similar error. Laptop is HP Compaq 6510b

Any suggestion is welcome, because this is preatty annoying.
Bellow is output of some commands.

cat /etc/debian_version

As an experiment you might kill the portmap daemon just before you issue the shutdown command. Maybe that will tell you why portmap seems to hang when shutdown tries to stop portmap.

Steve Stites

P.S. Another possibility is that shutdown is stopping daemons in the wrong order. Do you have any RPC daemons running? If so you might try killing the RPC daemons, then kill portmap, and then issue shutdown.

Hi,
I did ps | aux grep portmap ....

then

kill -p PORTMAP_ID

did

init 0

and had the same error.

ps aux | grep rpc
statd 1969 0.0 0.0 1892 720 ? Ss 23:16 0:00 /sbin/rpc.statd
root 3129 0.0 0.0 3852 704 pts/0 R+ 23:18 0:00 grep rpc


Thank you for answer.

I am a little confused by your answer. Do you mean that shutdown hung after the same message?

" Asking all remaining processes to terminate
Killing all remainig processes ....failed ( in RED )
Stopping portmap deamons ...

What messages did you get when you killed portmap?

-------------------
Steve Stites

Sorry for confusing answer.

After killing portmap deamon, and doing init 0, I got the same error as before. Nothing changed with killing portmap, the same error remained.

Reg+Thx

PS : I spent a lot of time on this problem, and google search did not gave some answer, similar problem people had.

also have installed lenny and got the same error message!

If you wait for longer period the system shuts down without hard reset.

Hi,
I have had several problems with portmap on debian lenny.
Running it all alone under 2.6.21 kernel works almost fine.
Except that after some network devices are started and some ports were used, the portmap is not stoppable as a daemon.
/etc/init.d/portmap stop
If the daemon takes "longer" to stop, that`s not a feature, that`s a bug.
Killing is possible.
That solves the problem.
Portmap is needed by nfs-common package. I would delete it if not necessary.

Another issue:
Emacs / slime / swank-clojure

If portmap is running, this setup does not work, the slime tries to connect to swank-clojure and "cannot find the server".

After stopping/killing portmap, everything works fine.
My guess is, that the portmap package is a little outdated.
Anybody knows more, how to remove it and keep the dependencies (nfs???)

Thanx, best regards,
mosi
