Shutdown issue

Greetings all,

I have installed FreeBSD 9.1 with ZFS on root following the guide in http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=31662. I have the /boot, /, /usr on a USB flash memory, and the /var, swap, /home on a mirror hard-drives.

In regards of the files layout, I have a question. When I issue # shutdown -p now, at certain point of the shutdown procedure the USB controller is turned off, thus disconnecting the USB flash memory; consequently, the shutdown procedure does not finish. Similarly, mutatis mutandis with reboot.

Is there a work-around this issue?

Kindest regards,

M
 
Hi @jozze,

Thank you for the reply; yes, I can log in the single user mode. But I am puzzled how will that help with the described issue.

Kindest regards,

M
