Shutdown problem: mount has 'stop' job queued, but 'start' is included in transaction

us flag

In my journalctl, I see the following messages.

  • Requested transaction contradicts existing jobs
  • mount has 'stop' job queued, but 'start' is included in transaction

There seems to be issues unmounting these two partitions during shutdown:

  • /mnt/install (referred to as mnt-install in the log below)
  • /mnt/data (referred to as mnt-data in the log below)

How can I fix this, so the partitions are successfully unmounted during shutdown?

I believe these errors prevent my laptop from shutting down. The machine freezes with a black screen, and I have to press and hold the power button to turn it off. I've noticed that when the machine shuts down normally, these messages do not appear in the journalctl log.

Here is an excerpt of the log...

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
