Oh no... I hope you guys aren't all pressing ctrl-alt-delete because it's faster! When you do a ctrl-alt-delete, your drives aren't being unmounted properly. The program fsck (File System Consistency Check) will find that the drives weren't properly unmounted and therefore it will scan each partition of every drive for errors. It will then reboot your computer in order to properly re-mount the drives. I did a ctrl-alt-delete once and had to wait 20 minutes before my system was functional again. (tip: not good for business) Stick to reboot and you'll have less trouble in the future. -David Fuchs ----- Original Message ----- From: Oren Sarig <sarig@bezeqint.net.il> To: Martin Gignac <martyg@sympatico.ca> Cc: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2000 10:43 Subject: Re: Is there a difference between 'reboot' command and ctrl-alt-del? > I don't think there is a difference in the proccess that gets > executed, but if I telnet to another machine, and I use shutdown -r > now, the other machine would reboot, but if I press ctrl-alt-del, my > machine would reboot.
