Another option: sync && reboot -f sync && poweroff -f That's if you don't want to troubleshoot this, or logout first. I've actually been doing a lot of just 'reboot -f' for the past year or so, without sync, to no ill effect. But I'm also using Btrfs, use no databases, and pretty much have no important data on this system. So... you might not want to do this, or at least use sync first. For sure any documents you haven't saved you'll lose because it's an ungraceful kernel level reboot, your DE and its applications won't ask, you'll get a reboot in about 1-2 seconds.
