Re: Mounting floppy. Newbie #61

HI, dman, Pietro, Jo-el, & Sam,

I definitely did not do a sync.  Maybe I did a umount, but probably not.

Why, when one shuts down via, say, poweroff, can unix not do that for you 
in the course of closing things down?  It seems on of those things that 
is going to get forgotten in a rush.

Regards
Ian
