Hi,
This has been a problem for the last several Linux Athena releases, but I
haven't gotten around to submitting it because I always notice it when I'm
about to leave.
The shutdown command "shutdown -h" doesn't unmount some of the mounted
filesystems, causing fsck to be run when starting back up.
The status shows problems with unmounting /afs and /usr/vice/cache, and it
is most common for /dev/hda3 (the afs cache) to be left in a dirty state.
The other problem with this is that the umounts are marked as FAILED and
are retried up to 3 times before the system halts.
This is on a laptop that operates in both a connected to MITnet state and a
disconnected state. (My current method of switching involves rebooting,
and waiting for fsck after a planned shutdown is annoying.)
The system is an IBM Thinkpad A21m, running ALS.

This may or may not have anything to do with the network cards, but the
problem does show up when using the ORiNOCO Silver card from Lucent.
Thanks for any help,
