Maybe my English is so bad, that you did not understand me.
My problem is not that the machine does not turn off automatically.
The Problem is that the system hangs/freeze during "syncing disks...".

Hello,
I think I have this problem since OpenBSD 4.2 release
till now 4.4 current.
I have a problem with the shutdown process.
When I do run several programs firefox and/or gimp for example
and make a shutdown than the system hangs on "syncing discs..."
The computer do nothing. There is no disc-activity.
I only could press the power switch to power down the machine.
In the follow boot process OpenBSD starts checking the disks with fsck.
I have the problem even when I restart X with the
[ctl]+[Alt]+[backspace] key combination.
When I close all running programs before typing "halt -p" to the xterm,
then everything is fine and before the machine turn off, its printing
"syncing discs...done".
I have the problem on all my three OpenBSD machines.
All machines do run Current.
thanks for any help.
Jan
