True, but if things come to worse, you've got to do a ALT+SysRq+B or +O, even before +U completely returned. As said, it can happen, that U(nmount) doesn't work - and then you'd need to shutdown anyway. > Neil even proposed ALT + > SysRq + EISUB, to be sure everything is killed, sync'd and unmounted. Which might or might not work. But note that I was also talking about applications being in a corrupted state (the database example). >> filesystems aren't even unmounted and thus dirty and thus need >> a fsck run on next boot. > > XFS to the rescue :-) Yep. Well, to be honest, I haven't had a fs die on me, because of a Alt+SysRq+B. Michael Schmarck -- Inspiration without perspiration is usually sterile. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
