Nope I've seen this one. I bet if you look into the logs it was valiantly trying to write to a file and couldn't. Either there is a file that it wanted to write to that is corrupt and wouldn't release the system or the hdd has a bad sector and it was trying to write to that sector. When/if it happens again take a look at syslog and messages to try and figure out what it is doing at the point where it won't shutdown. In my case it was a log file that was sitting on a bad sector. As a work around I just renamed the log (it let me do that) and touched the new log. Got me around the problem, then I went to the store and bought a new drive. I've also see it with corrupted files back in the 7.1 days when logrotate was screwy. James
