It should not be. Worst case should be similar to abrupt power failure. (Real case: I pull the wrong plug out of my power strip, disconnecting my server instead of the device I intended to move.) Reboot the server, it recovers filesystems from their journals in a few seconds, and life is good again. If this does not work, then there are more serious problems than time-outs during shutdown, and these problems may indeed be blocker candidates. Your UPS should be able to give an earlier warning than "Battery is exhausted." but there is no completely adequate advance warning. For critical activities, one provides a UPS that can say "Power remains for N seconds." where N is sufficient for application-specific shutdown (not system shutdown, though that may also occur). Even this is not proof against catastrophe and user error, but greater durability requires mutiple systems, automatic fall-back, and more exotic strategies. Personally, I should be very happy to have faster shutdown and boot times. I just feel these are quality, not blocker issues. _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
