"shutdown now" simply brings the system into single-user mode. The filesystems are still mounted read-write at this point. Try "shutdown -h now" to halt the system or "shutdown -p now" to power the system off. See the shutdown manpage for more options. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
