I'm using Linux kernel 2.1.115, with mount 2.8a. When I attempt
to unmount a filesystem using the "umount" command, or when
a shutdown script does this the umount command locks up, and
never returns. Umount cannot even be killed with kill -9.
The system is a Dell Dimension XPS H266, running RedHat 5.1, I
have upgraded all the software packages according to
Documentation/Change. The kernel was compiled with gcc 2.7.2.3,
it is a nonsmp kernel. All the selected drivers
are non-experimental with the exception of /dev/fb. All of
the filesystems, with the exception of one are ext2. The
exception is my win95 disk which is a small vfat partition.
I have four hard drives on my system, two of which are on
an IDE bus, the other two are on a "Adaptec AIC-7860 (rev 1)"
SCSI controller board. Umount did work fine under 2.0.34.
PS
I hope this isn't a stupid problem caused by user error
*cringe*
