Hello Bobby, The VM is in my lab environemnt. I have many flavours of Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. FreeBSD is my firewall running PF. I have rebooted my entire environment hundreds of times, and non of my Windows or Linux VMs will complain or boot into a repair/single user mode. The background to this problem is because the FreeBSD root filesystem (UFS) is not journaled and for some reason I cannot set my root partition to be UFS+SoftUpdates. At any rate, we are in the year 2010, most modern operating systems and databases and able to survive an unclean shutdown without booting into single user mode and file system/data corruption. I love FreeBSD, and have been a user since 2.x but its a bit frustrating that whenever power fails I have to do this..
