shutdown events in Linux at all?
The kernel doesn't perform those, your distro's init scripts do that. And
various distros have various success at doing the right thing. I've had
the best luck with Debian and Ubuntu doing this in the right order. RH
seems to insist on turning off the network then network services such as
sshd.
Samba was serving files to remote computers and had no desire to let
go of the filesystem while still running. After 5 seconds or so,
Linux just shutdown the MD device with the filesystem still mounted.
The kernel probably didn't do this, usually by the time the kernel gets to
this point init has already sent kills to everything. If it hasn't it
points to problems with your init scripts, not the kernel.
That's what happened on a user-visible level, but what could have
happened internally in the filesystem?
