No I hadn't... I thought that fshalt was only necessary when you want
to turn off the box and that a reboot would first sync the filesystem.
I just read the "SHUT DOWN" section from the installation instructions
again. The sentence "Then turn off the computer or type Ctl-Alt-Del or
"^t ^t r" to reboot" indeed implies that you have to run fshalt before
rebooting (in case the system runs a fileserver).
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
