Any ideas? > Yep, get used to it! ;-> The problem is that there are still at least two programs running at shutdown time...the shutdown command and init. Since their current working directory is somewhere on the root filesystem, root cannot be unmounted...the best that can happen is that root gets remounted read-only. And since your root filesystem cannot be unmounted, /dev/md1 will continue to be busy. It is a completely harmless message though. I get something similar about shuting down LVM... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
