hi,
i found a troubling problem. if i
shutdown -r now
the root filesystem is clean when i get back into linux. however, if i
shutdown -h now
the root filesystem has to be fsck'd. i only noticed this with the pre-x
kernel. the drive is a quantum 1225s connected to mesh. i am guessing from
this behavior that the latter command removes power from the drive while
its write cache is still dirty. any other possibilities?
brad
