Re: Debian GNU/Hurd takes forever to shut down

[Saniya Maheshwari]

Hi Damien,

Post your mail, I attempted to time how long it takes after that line. I also took care to take a fresh image, i.e. freshly downloaded with no prior work done on it, and also took care to not do anything during the Hurd session, i.e. just log in as 'root' and then immediately shutdown (no other commands run).

My observation is that 5 minutes after that line appears, the machine has still not shut down.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Saniya

How long did you wait after this line? I sometimes notice this happening and it can take about 60 seconds to time out. Although waiting a minute is not desirable, it may work. Cheers, Damien
