Hi.
1) The attached patch improves a few things on the halt(8) manpage IMHO.
(Moving the implication notice to the actually affected option)
2) I guess documentation should be added on whether -i and -h take effect
if rebooting and not halt/poweroff.
Other questions:
1) How can writing /var/log/wtmp ever work? AFAIK umountroot happens before
halt and in that we have remount,ro?
2) Is that:
Right now this is only implemented for IDE drives. A side
effect of putting the drive in stand-by mode is that the write cache on
the disk is flushed. This is important for IDE drives, since the kernel
doesn't flush the write cache itself before power-off.
still valid? Have you read what Milan Broz commented on flushing recently?
Cheers,
Chris
