Re: [expert] System not successfully shutting down
I am not certain, but I have waited upwards of 5 minutes or more. In no case have I left the system alone and come back to find it shutdown. I cannot wait forever for it to shutdown either. I don't know why it's doing this suddenly - but I imagine I have fixed it. I dorked something up real nice today and am reinstalling from scratch as I write this (this happens about once a month or so for me).

Re: [expert] System not successfully shutting down
Had some redhat 6.2 boxes that randomly started doing that. However, if you left it some minutes, they would successfully shut down. No error messages that I could see, just would stop for a few minutes. How long did you wait?

Last time I got something like this the case was that a pro gram was writing data to a directory under a mountpoint that got un mounted sucessfully... Did the syslog shotdown properly? Hope this helps. -- Leonardo T. de Carvalho Ibiz Tecnologia Frase aleatória: "I demand IMPUNITY! "
