I have tried in /etc/fstab also the sync option but it ends up with the "syncing discs giving up" error message. Only if I umount the ext2fs partition gives me a clean shutdown. What can be done or how can I force the system to umount ext2fs partition before shutting down? Oliver -- ... don't touch the bang bang fruit
