Hi,

I believe I’m still experiencing it on my laptop (but it’s harmless, I
only briefly see e2fsck saying “recovering journal” at boot time), but
of course, not the slightest clue in /var/log/messages.

There’s a system test, “root-unmount” in (gnu tests base), but it
succeeds: <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/9790935/details>.

Perhaps the problem only shows up with more complex system configs?
My root partition is on a LUKS device, but I think the problem is more
something like EBUSY upon ‘umount’ due to stale processes.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
