On Wheezy (running sysvinit), when you run halt, it stops OS and then disconnects power. On Jessie (running systemd), it just stops OS and then hangs. If you're on a virtual machine, you're able to see messages like: Failed to finalize DM device, ignoring and System halted but the Virtual Machine just hangs with OS off and VM still running. I took a look to the release notes and didn't notice anything about this behaviour change. The documentation seems not to make difference between using halt, poweroff or shutdown -h now: https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/i386/ch08s01.html.en Please let me know if I miss something.

Yes, halt and poweroff are not the same thing, although sysvinit did not respect this distinction. Already filed as #760923 and tagged wontfix: A good reason why this will not be changed by us is that it is desirable to maintain compatibility with other Linux distributions.

The documentation seems not to make difference between using halt, poweroff or shutdown -h now: https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/i386/ch08s01.html.en This doesn't look good, though, as halt is almost never what you want. Reassigning to the release notes. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
