debian partition shutdown unmounting var

                          I have a fresh install of Debian 9.0.0. It has a separate 1 GB partition for /var formatted at ext4. When I shutdown from the terminal, using shutdown -h now, there is a bright-red error message stating "failed unmounting /var".

What is the fix for this error?
