	These questions tend to be easier to work with when you mention 
some specific details about your system such as the Version u are 
running, the type of machine, bus, drives.. on and on..

	anyway, to ask the painfully obvious first ( and hopefully not 
making u mad :-) ) are u just turning the machine off, or are you halting 
it before you turn off the machine?

	the symptoms that u are reporting sound like you are just turning 
it off... this would not be a good idea....unix does not always complete 
file system writes immediately after you think u have saved it. Thus, all 
partially completed writes get finished when you type "halt" before 
turning it off.
