Okay, I've used the "init 0" for shutting down for a week now. Well, it can always shut my machine down. But some of the time, the hard drive apparently wasn't unmounted because occasionally when I turn on the machine, it always replayed transactions. There's about 200 transaction replayed when this happens. So, I am worried that eventually it will corrupt my Linux. Is there any other way to solve this problem?
You can't shutdown using what? The init 0 from console gives very little time applications to exit cleanly, but most of them, if they listen the kernel, will have enough time to exit. So this seems to be some buggy application that doesn't pay attention to kernel messages. Is that fuse and ntfs-3g or something else you can find out if you remove them from system, if symptoms remain than it is not this 2 and you can go further. What I would do is Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get text mode terminal. Log in as root, and that run init 3 to see what is hanging. If you don't get command prompt after "init 3" than press Enter it should appear. I suspect that some of GUI application doesn't exit. If all seems OK and you get your command prompt, than from here you can run init 0 to shutdown or init 6 to reboot computer and see is there again error messages and transaction replay. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
