I'm not familiar with the internal workings of mtab. I will read a bit. Also the only thing I assume could be hanging is my external HD which I disconnected having no effect on the problem behavior. Still I reported that my /boot partition was being mounted and listed on kde file manager (forgot its name) which was not default behavior. So could be the case that /boot is hanging my shoutdown? I don't get the reason umount -a && shutdown -h now did not do the trick. I ask gently again if you could inform me why did the "magic reboot" did work while shutdown did not. Regards, Victor
