You are doing a clean shutdown, aren't you? Ubuntu is using the graphical logon/logoff so I can't see what's going on, but yes the shutdown is clean. I **assume** the file system is being unmounted, but I'd have to disable graphics to see for sure. > What happens if you manually umount the file system prior to shutting > down Ubuntu? I have to try it and see. One thing I noticed...in Ubuntu's fstab, sda2 is referred to as "/dev/sda2" while the Ubuntu partition is referenced by the UUID..I wonder if this is a problem ? -- -- Frank -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
