umount at reboot/halt

[johnbock]

I can't find where partitions are being umounted at reboot or halt.

That's not critical for non-cached filesystems, but others like ext2/ext3 and ntfs that potentially deadly... AFAIK no partitions are mounted with 'sync' option.

Is this done in inittab or within the init-Process?

I think this should be done in /var/post_install in the var.tar file. At least the dsl stuff is done there. It could be done with something like

$ diff -Naur var/post_install.orig var/post_install
--- var/post_install.orig	2008-05-11 18:47:34.000000000 +0200

+	echo "stopping storage devices..."
+	/etc/hotplug/storage stop
+fi
 if [ -x /etc/init.d/rc.dsl.sh ] ; then
     echo "unload dsl and dependend driver .."
     /etc/init.d/rc.dsl.sh stop

This needs to be tested though...
