On the rare occasion when I reboot or shut this laptop down, it
continually and consistently gets stuck on one of the final steps, to
umount /home

The process never proceeds beyond that point (as /home is always
fsck'ed on next startup). I can't see any logs as syslog has already
been shut down at this point, and it happens whether I shutdown as root
from the console or by using the KDE widget.

/home here is on LVM

I could probably debug this easily enough if I could determine how the
shutdown sequence is ordered, or get a verbose output. But sadly, my fu
for such stuff has run out.

Anyone got pointers on where to start poking around?

[I'm not looking for solutions, I'm unlikely to get those right off the
bat, just looking for pointers atm]
