Fast shutdown without filesystemcheck on next boot?

2000-04-06 Thread rob10
Hi, I trying to find a way to shut down my laptop *really* quick (1 - 2 seconds) from the console. I can't wait until all processes have died. What I want to do is "sync" - "close all open filehandles" "umount" "poweroff" the problem is that unmount often says that some filesystems are busy.
