Slow shutdown

Post by jonesd » Thu Aug 03, 2023 7:51 am

When I shutdown my 9.2-1 system sometimes it goes quick, but often it takes a several minutes.

If I try to catch what's stalling by preceding the shutdown with:

Code: Select all

$ define/system shutdown$verify T
$ set verify
I never see a slow shutdown. These are shutdowns from the SYSTEM account logged into the console. If I use SYSMAN from a remote session session almost always takes a long time.

Interesting. With both E9.2-1 and V9.2-1 under KVM I always use sysman from the console, and have never seen a slowdown

I instrumented shutdown.com and one bit stall point is the "$ install purge" command, which for some reason is taking over 2 minutes.
