The problem is that the user invokes "Turn off the device" from the desktop, and maemo_af_desktop then (eventually) invokes /etc/init.d/minishutdown.

The current working directory of the script when invoked like this is /home/user, meaning that trying to unmount it - if it's a union (which most people would have) - is tricky.

The suggestion I've made to Heike is to re-execute the shutdown scripts; something like:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

if [ "x$1" != "xreexec" ]; then
    cd /
    exec $0 reexec
fi

...
Then, from '...' onwards, you'll be guaranteed that /home/user is not
the current directory.

Cheers,

Andrew
