So, the reason I jumped from what I thought was a relatively stable
point in the main -current branch to a more recent version was primarily
because of what I believe is a problem related to PR# 54969.
I had noticed long fscks on large filesystems following normal clean
reboots and got investigating.
Maybe what remains an issue here is just related to dm(4) partitions, as
only my /dev/mapper partition(s) have had problems recently.
Unfortunately though this is still happening with 9.99.81 (2021-03-10).
(and both with GENERIC and XEN3_DOM0)
In any case I would say this is the single most critical, serious, and
important, issue in current (and netbsd-9)! It totally kills system
reliability (though maybe only if one is using LVM).
Just for evidence, I added a bunch more printfs to the kernel and rc.d
scripts (and '-v' flags to fsck, mount, etc.) to help me see for myself
better what exactly is going on. This is the console after a truly
normal complete safe reboot using shutdown(8).
In this example all processes but the shutdown scripts should be dead.
The NFS mount on /more/work probably won't complete because I probably
started shutdown(8) without first doing "cd /" (and without doing "exec
shutdown"), and my CWD was probably on that NFS mount. This could maybe
be fixed by having reboot/halt/powerdown kill its parent process first,
and perhaps also doing chdir("/") too.
There's no excuse I can find for /build not unmounting though, and
definitely no excuse for '/' not umounting either, though it later '/'
is forcefully unmounted, and on reboot '/' appears to be clean. However
the forceful unmount of /build doesn't work, and it is NOT clean.
Note also that /build will sometimes unmount quickly and cleanly if it
hasn't been dirtied since the last boot, but it seems even creating one
file can leave it dirty on reboot.
Maybe what remains an issue here is just related to dm(4) partitions?
