what do you mean with "slide"? >I have a MSDOS partition that routinely is "busy" when >the system is powering down and what the debian script >claims it's doing >during the shutdown is that it will umount the drive and >then remount it read only. The problem is, you cant't umount a fs which is busy. At least I don't how to do that. >Also you can edit the content of /etc/fstab or it's related >files and make sure that you specifically not check the >partition in question. I know, but that's not a very good idea. Your fs is in a bad state? Well, don't check it. Here is my "off" script. Maybe you have an idea to improve it: #! /bin/sh /bin/sync; /bin/sync /sbin/killall5 -9 /bin/sync /sbin/killall5 -9 # echo -n "Swapoff... "; swapoff -a; echo "ok." echo -n "Unmount... "; /bin/umount -a -r -n -f; echo "ok." /bin/mount -n -o remount,ro / echo -n "Halting... "; /sbin/poweroff -d -f -p ----- Sent using MailStart.com ( http://MailStart.Com/welcome.html ) The FREE way to access your mailbox via any web browser, anywhere!
