Wow, so you'll go through all the bother of individual shutting down any

Ohhh-kaaay... That seems like an awful lot of work on your part, going out
of your way to PUNISH THE STUPID FILESYSTEMS FOR NOT BEING SMARTER!!!
I take it you've never worked in a critical production environment, have
you? When your job is at stake (and therefore your financial well-being),
you don't try to prove a point by not shutting down systems properly...
Even when they are designed to handle such failures.
Now when you're evaluating systems for purchase. Hell yeah. Beat them to
death.

While I don't agree with the programmer, I take care to turn off actual
