hi there, to keep it short: 1. mount a removable device (e.g. an usb stick) (better use -r to prevent data loss) 2. unplug the device (without unmounting it) 3. `shutdown -r now` what happens is that the usual shutdown routine gets processed until all buffers are synced, but then the system stalls. after resetting the system all devices (which were supposed to be synced) are marked dirty and are being fsck'ed. cheers. alex oh...and i'm running FreeBSD otaku 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #0 r197914: Sat Oct 10 02:58:19 CEST 2009 root_at_otaku:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ARUNDEL i386Received on Wed Oct 14 2009 - 08:49:57 UTC
