Since I have a vanilla fresh install, I can tell that what is described is the default behavior. The fs does sync and halt. The only curious thing is that "fshalt -r" does reboot, but reboots say Plan9, and not the computer (restarts from 9load it seems). [I'm not saying it should not or whatever; it is a constatation and it probably makes sense for a Plan9 terminal.] -- Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ polynum +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
