Comment 13 for bug 484307

My last update for the day.

After fixing the sequence numbers, the shutdown at least took longer and stopped some services. However it seems the rc scripts are run in parallel with upstart finishing other services. In particular the rc scripts shut down the network before autofs (/automount/autofs5) hung around which in turn blocked umount of most local file systems. Meanwhile the rc scripts executed the halt. I'm new to all this so perhaps I misunderstand. But it seems that the rc scripts are started when upstart is still cleaning up other services and there is a strong chance the machine will execute halt before everything is finished.

I'm hoping I'm wrong and someone can explain how this works.
