Alkis, Tested the new nbd-disconnect on my Gateway E4610's and Dell Optiplex's 740's and they are now shutting down properly without my modifications to the poweroff command. I tested using the graphical sessions and by executing halt -p (forgot to test poweroff but I believe that command is equivalent) from the tty1 command line.
I will submit a request an SRU (update release) if you can direct me to where I do that?
