Hi,
I trying to find a way to shut down my laptop *really* quick (1 - 2 seconds) from the console. I can't wait until all processes have died. What I want to do is "sync" - "close all open filehandles" "umount" "poweroff" the problem is that unmount often says that some filesystems are busy. So next time I boot I have to do a filesystem check which is really annoying. So how do you force an unmount of a filsystem (in a consisten state) even if the processes which access the fs haven't died yet? Is there any other way to quickly poweroff without getting an inconsistant fs?
