Hello! Someone reported earlier that `shutdown now' results in unclean filesystems. Other than the obvious reboot, what is the difference between `shutdown' and `shutdown -r'? A friend of mine has a Linux box that he did this on and it killed the filesystem, presumably because it didn't sync. does the FreeBSD version operate in the same way? If it doesn't sync, shoudln't this be fixed? or at least have this behavior relegated to a switch? Maybe have -r be the default action? Thanks for any insight.
