I have been using poweroff command (without any arguments) to power off a
laptop on NetBSD 8.0_RC1 amd64.
Recently I installed 8.0 on a usb stick and notice that poweroff now
reboots the laptop instead of powering off.
The /etc/rc.shutdown is not altered by me and neither it is different
between 8.0_RC1 and 8.0.
Do not know whether it matters - 8.0 boots from a usb stick and 8.0_RC1
from native hard drive.
An aside:
The laptop hard drive had started showing "error reading fsbn". I presume
it means disk will need a replacement soon. Hence as a precaution I
switched to a usb stick based installation.
The drive is barely 3 years old and also hosts Linux which has not shown
any warnings. Am I right in interpretation of above error or is there
something I can try with the hard drive to extend its useful life?
