In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, when executing 'kexec -e', mounted file systems will not be umounted, and the caches/buffers will not sync to devices. So it may cause data lost. According to the man page of kexec, 'kexec -e' will call 'shutdown'. So I test out 'shutdown now', and I found that all processes are killed, but it does not perform umounting or syncing. So I think it is a bug of either kexec or shutdown.
