The halt/reboot/poweroff binary shipped from sysvinit source will request a direct power-off, halt or reboot to the kernel. Just give it the "-f" option. And don't complain if this causes data loss. The manpage of systemd's halt/reboot/poweroff command seems to imply it supports the "-f" option. Again, don't complain if the use of the "-f" option causes data loss. That said, it is not that uncommon for the kernel to not find a way to safely power down a X86 box. I won't go into the gory details of why, but regressions in kernel power-off support are not unheard of. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
