Normally this shouldn't be a problem (assuming of course you use shutdown or halt, and not just brutaly shut the computer off). There are reports of problems shutting down (especially 2.1.x systems) when X is running and /tmp is on a MFS file system. The symptoms being that the disk buffers do not get flushed (at the console you'll see something like: 4 4 4 .... 4 giving up). If you don't get the "giving up" message, then all should be well. > > -- > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > Justin Ashworth, Intern Structured Network Systems > justin@structured.net http://www.structured.net > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > Mike: "The Fourth Dimension is a shambles?" > Bernie: "Nobody ever empties the ashtrays.
