Hello,

(FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE)

I have a problem while mounting ext2fs (linux) file systems via
/etc/fstab. During the boot process they are properly mounted, but
on system shutdown ("shutdown -h now") the sync fails and some
file systems are not unmounted. 
May I have to umount the ext2fs myself before shutting down the
system?

BTW. is "shutdown -h now" a proper way to halt the system? And
is there a standard script, which is being executed on shutdown?
I'm familiar with SVR4 and I really miss the SVR4 boot and
shutdown with it's runlevel management.

Thanx.

Bjorn.
