abarbarian Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 http://imgbox.com/aaq2SRNM Since I put the archarm image on to a sd card I get "mount" showing up in top(see image above).Mount is running at 100% all the time which surely is not good. I tried "kill -9 ****" and "kill ****" but nothing works. If I reboot "mount" does not show in top until I open spacefm and have a look at the drives section. Any ideas folks ?? :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarbarian Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Can't help. Sorry. I don't know anything about Arch Linux ARM. My bad. It is my Arch 64 on the pc that is giving trouble. One othere thing is that the pc will not shut down no matter what command I give. tried ctrl+alt+F1 to get to another tty but the darn thing still will not shut down. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 You have me completely stumped as I have not ever ran across anything remotely like your issue. I tried to research this and still did not find anything. Sorry I could not be more of a help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichase Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 So what do you get when as root you type: # shutdown -h now Do you get an error? What about # reboot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An I can not get it back. I'll have another look for a config file when I have the time. So little time and so many pies to cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Just REMOVE POWER from the unit. Sometimes, you just can't get around this. Odds are, you won't trash your system. Once you've powered down for a few minutes (all power removed from computer), reapply mains power and start up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Honesty this sounds as thought it may have something to do with your hardware. Hopefully nothing is failing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a hardware failure. I left the pc running after I tried to shut it down and after ten minutes a message came on screen " shutdown has been blocked for 120 seconds" or something like that. How ten minutes can turn into 120 seconds is beyond me but thats penguins for you different time zones an all. So I recon this has something to do with trying to read the sd cards with the wrong reader, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrat Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 My problem is something to do with the foppy drive. which I do not have. https://bbs.archlinu...c.php?id=144467 Actually I had a similar problem a couple of times. Just have to check BIOS to see if it's the same. It didn't click that it may be the same as your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
