Ummm, dunno, I know nothing about btrfs (except that it is an experimental filesystem with some interesting features), that's why I had the question mark after anacron. Who is likely to power it down during a scrub? (user education?) Maybe, have some sort of wrapper round the shutdown/halt command, which can detect if a scrub is occuring? -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
