I would do a 'rc single' then use lsof for /home to see what if anything
is still going on. I think with openrc, when you go to single user it
unmounts about everything, tho this could have changed since it has been
a while since I went to single user. Oh, I have had issues going from
single user back to default mode. It just doesn't work right. So, be
ready to reboot if needed.
I ran into a weird issue one time a long time ago. It turned out it was
the order I had them in fstab. I think I had /usr/portage above /usr so
as it went down the file, it was trying to mount /usr/portage then
trying to mount /usr. I thought it rather odd, maybe a bug even, but
changing the order made it work. Do you maybe have something in a odd
order in fstab?
Well, it's early and I am still half asleep. Hope that helps. Going
back to bed. To wet to go hunting this morning, sleeting too. Brrrrrr!
