Hello
Each time I try to shut down my system it fails to unmount fuse control filesystems. Another message tells me that system could not lock lock file. Then it hangs trying to unmount file systems. Please
suggest.
Thank you.
This would suggest that there are still files open on the failing unmount point.
Which mount points do you have and which one is failing?
Might be good to post the contents of /etc/fstab.

Thanks for the output. It looks fine at first glance.
Are you having problems with all the mount points? Or specifically one (like /windows/D)?
Do you also have a dismount issue when booting and shutting down right after a successful boot (meaning: not having run any other applications that might be locking one of the files on the partitions)?
lsof is a command you can use to check what the kernel is reporting as open file(s).
To check files open on the windows partition mounts:
su - #to elevate to root
lsof | grep /windows/
I had the same problem you describe, starting about a week after a fresh install of 11.1 on a ThinkPad T23, using KDE 4.1.3. I found other users mentioning this problem in some other forum threads.
The fuse problem seems related to a problem with jexec. The fix seems to be Yast->System->System Services (Runlevel), scroll to “jexec” in the list, select it, and click Disable.
I have been running smoothly for several days after making this fix, and have noticed no bad side effects. I am puzzled why 11.1 ran well for me for about a week, then started these problems.

I think this happened after I installed java 6 from Sun. I think that’s why jexec is involved because for once I also noted an indefinite hang during booting and it stuck at starting jexec services.

It shows no open files.
No files open… good to know… So seems like a bug related to something else.
Have you tried the jexec setting suggested by Howard? Seems there are more posts about that (in combination with KDE 4)
Actually, I had also installed Sun’s java 6 update 11 shortly before I noticed the jexec trouble. That’s probably the cause. Disabling jexec fixed it for me.
Thanks,
Howard

Yes the jexec setting worked for me. Both Howard and I had installed Sun java update 11 before getting the problem.
It’s definitely a problem with Sun’s java. Reading this thread triggered my thoughts that this problem started happening after downloading Java SE 6.0.12 i586 on my X86_64 Suse 11.1 install. Don’t ask why I’m using the 32 bit jdk on my 64 bit os …
But is is only related to fuse mounts ?
It doesn’t have anything to do with fuse. The “java update” process is causing the disk to be unable to flush (I think) and that’s what causes the shutdown hang. I shut off jexec and now the system doesn’t hang at shutdown anymore.
This would suggest that there are still files open on the failing
unmount point.
Which mount points do you have and which one is failing?
Might be good to post the contents of /etc/fstab.
