I didn't notice this much until I configured a satellite. Boot servers
would rarely shutdown and if it was planned it was often a cluster
reboot and if not planned then I had other worries. But with a
satellite booting once per day, one wants to avoid merges.
SYSHUTDWN.COM is the way to go. Unconditionally dismounting a disk with
open files could lead to them being in an unknown and/or inconsistent
state; maybe it's good one is forced to think about it.
