Question about shutting down
« on: February 20, 2009, 07:34:17 PM »
Just having had another fun session with this Ubuntu PC after the a fuse flipped and the power cut off, and having to run fsdsk and messing with fixing it after the "unclean" shutoff, and of course having to do the same thing with Windows whenever it happens, it makes using AmigaOS that much nicer, just to flip a switch and shut it off without going through a darn shutoff procedure and the aggravation of checkdisk if you don't. Although, startups and shutdowns are a heck of a lot faster now after I tweeked it and eliminated the worthless eye candy and unneeded programs.

Just curious. Does AmigaOS 4 or 4.1 still have the same ability to just "shut off"?

What exactly is it that allows AmigaOS to just shut off without the problems of the other operating systems. Don't be too technical please.  :-D

I know you don't shut it off while its writing. A couple of mangled systems have been a painful lesson in that issue. :getmad:

simplistic data structures for filesystem

no bells and whistles.

everything has tradeoffs of course, however you want to look at it.


After a long time, I'm finally getting comfortable with Win (relatively) and can at least change registry files and other process' with little fear. I've only installed Ubuntu a few months ago, and its still a mystery. Not sure about xfs or jfs, I'm just using what came with the install CD.
