NAME
fastboot,
fasthalt —
reboot/halt the system without checking the disks
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
fastboot and
fasthalt are shell scripts
which reboot or halt the system, and when next started, the system will skip
the normal the file systems checks. This is done by creating a file
/fastboot, then invoking the
reboot(8) program. The system
startup script,
/etc/rc, looks for this file and, if
present, skips the normal invocation of
fsck(8).
