Well, what you should be doing and what you can get away with are 2 different things. The rootfs is a journalled ext4 partition. I've not yet seen an instance where there has been a problem recoving from the journal on the next reboot, after the power has been pulled, rather than a "clean" shutdown. That's not to say it wont happen, but 99% of the time you will get away with it. With my "do it properly" hat on, you really should be shutting the device down from the gui and if you choose to "halt", as it suggests, wait 30 seconds before removing power. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
