This was the reason why I've written the sysvinit-2.86-hddown.patch which enables halt(8) to use the data found at /sys/class/scsi_disk and /sys/block to determine if there is any disk which will not handled by the e.g. libata. The option -h of halt then enforce flushing for those remaining devices (e.g. usb sticks). Why this method does not work with any md raid is an interesting question .. or is this not true anymore? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
