I am using slackware (8.0), and the shutdown script on my system uses:
# Turn off swap, then unmount local file systems. echo "Turning off swap." swapoff -a echo "Unmounting local file systems." # Don't remount UMSDOS root volumes: if [ ! "`mount | head -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 5`" = "umsdos" ]; then umount -a -r -t nonfs echo "Remounting root filesystem read-only." mount -n -o remount,ro / else umount -a -r -t nonfs,noumsdos,nosmbfs fi
# This never hurts: sync
---
I guess that's not the probem, then... Actually, whenever I shutdown I never see any messages about the unmounting (or the mounting in readonly mode) failing, which only adds to my confusion.

Yes, that's the warning I see.

Does it? I know next to nothing about these issues, but I thought that I had read somewhere that log replays only occurred after a system crashed and couldn't be shutdown properly.
Thank you both,
