The manual page for init(1) would answer this question. ;-) It is used to bring the system down to single user mode. In simple cases, this is the best way to ensure that files on the /home partition are not being used so you can easily unmount /home. On Linux 2.4 and higher, there are other ways of remounting partitions without bringing the system down or unmounting the partition directly, but the way I described should hopefully be the best and easiest for you. -- Michael Wardle Adacel Technologies -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
