That would probably be ideal, issue the power off command with something like a 30 second timeout, which would give the system time to power off cleanly first.
I don't think that's ideal. Many systems restore power to the last known state, thus powering off cleanly would result in the machine not coming back up after the power cycle. Some machines can be changed to always power on in the BIOS. If the server administrator remembers to do so, that is. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
