Back with another silly problem.

umount: / device is busy.
This is what I see when I reboot my CentOS 5.4 Netbook sometimes. It obviously does not unmount properly, but it reboots just the same. When it boots up, it deletes 2-8 orphan inodes and all is well. but still, this should not be an issue. I have always known that the way red hat/fedora/centos boot, just that specific way, is not always set up well. I noticed it usually happens when I shut down with some akward process or another running in the background, because my system monitor is usually off the charts and my hard disk reading something every 1/2 second. I love red hat in general, but I hate the way they set up services and bootups. I wish I had more details, but I don't. It just does this every few boots, I want to prevent it.

please use useful and informative thread titles in future. With 50 posts, you should be able to make it relate to the question you have.

I have done around 50 responses, not problem posts, and I could not think of a good problem title, sorry, but still, no flames, if you flame someone, flame the jerks that come in here just to say "linux sux." I wish I could catch them all and feed the brick versions of what they posted. There is a place for people like them, and the servers are stationed in hell. (and run windows)

I'm not flaming you, I'm just asking you to use better thread titles.

Well to change the way it restarts or shutdown I guess you'd have to modify the init scripts in /etc/init.d
