Well, reboot without sync is a bit risky. I remember we added the OPENSAF_REBOOT_TIMEOUT configuration option in nid.conf to handle various potential problems like for example a hanging sync during reboot. If reboot supervision is enabled with this configuration option, then the reboot will be escalated to a reboot without sync if it has been hanging longer than the configured time-out.
