Ubuntu is using the graphical logon/logoff so I can't see what's
going on, but yes the shutdown is clean. I **assume** the file system
is being unmounted, but I'd have to disable graphics to see for sure.

I have to try it and see.
One thing I noticed...in Ubuntu's fstab, sda2 is referred to as
"/dev/sda2" while the Ubuntu partition is referenced by the UUID..I
wonder if this is a problem ?
