Killing the power after the halt script has umounted and remounted read only the root filesystem it's not enough to garuantee the safety of raid volume which are signaled to close by the kernel at the very end of the shutdown process. Killing the power before this could leave raid volume in an unclean status. If you haven't any raid volume you could modify the script introducing the killpower command or you can try to use the --kill-on-powerfail options which tell apcupsd to send the killpower signal immediatly before the daemon exits. You can proceeds this way only if your ups support the grace time feature and only if you are able to determine a safe enough grace time. In the manual you will find very clear explanations on this. http://www.apcupsd.com/manual/manual.html#the-shutdown-sequence-and-its-discontents hope this help you best regards Marco -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
