Seems more inclusive. I don't understand why the title was "DESKTOP shutdown, reboot, logout" anyway. Should have been just "System shutdown, reboot, logout", or better, just omit the first word modifier altogether, as you propose, Adam. My original carp was due to the major aggravation introduced by systemd - the inability to cleanly 'shutdown' or 'reboot'. Sometimes these incidents manifested as an interminable delay of many minutes; other times a complete freeze. This made the "Magic SysRequest" command set essential - which should NEVER be needed. I believe these failures can all be traced to NFS mounts that could not be cleanly umounted. But what can be more stupid than waiting for a non-existent NFS server to respond? Cleanliness is not an option. I propose that the shutdown++ criterion include prompt closeout of NFS file systems, requiring perhaps a default configuration of autofs mounts that will allow quick umounts, despite unexpected inaccessibility of a remote machine, if this is even possible. It always worked before systemd. > -- > Adam Williamson > Fedora QA Community Monkey > IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net > http://www.happyassassin.net > > -- > test mailing list > test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test -- David A.
