-# The initscripts package includes a '/etc/init.d/umountfs' script used for
-# reboot/poweroff purposes. That script calls the 'umount' command but seems
-# that the combination of busybox' umount + linux 3.x fails in this script (it
-# hangs without completing the reboot/poweroff)
-# So as a workaround use the umount command from util-linux package
