I think I will wait for a while before I do further posts. As I was thinking about it, since I tested everything using knoppix 6.2 as the base, maybe in 6.2.1 or 6.3 these have been changed. Then I was probably shooting in the air then. :)
Unless someone could post the minirt.gz and /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt for 6.3 in this forum then at least I could confirm it .....
More.
As it's not just a matter of pure script changes, it includes a static version of /sbin/init inside minirt.gz, I tried to upload my fixes here, which contains of 3 files, minirt.gz, /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt and /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt.actual ( all in it's slightly more than 1 MB ), unfortunately the forum limits the maximum file size which I could post here. And therefore I have to abort the idea of putting forward the fix here.
In any case, I am pretty contended with my changes, as it allows me to cleanly shutdown and umount everything, including umounting /KNOPPIX-DATA, /UNIONFS, /KNOPPIX and /mnt-system. Yes, ***EVERY*** single file system is cleanly detached before the system is put to power off or reboot. Hibernating knoppix is almost unnecessary, as knoppix boots up pretty fast, more so if knoppix-data.img resides on hard disk.
I suggest creating a google.com account for the purpose and using the relatively new "upload any document" feature to post files on the web. Once you share them with the world:) you can get the URL and post THAT on the forum (which would be most appreciated.)Quote:

The file 'minirt.gz' will have to go the replace the existing minirt.gz.
The file 'knoppix-halt' will also go to replace the existing /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt
The file 'knoppix-halt.actual' is a new file to reside in /etc/init.d, but make sure it has execution permission for root,
ie chmod u+rx /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt.actual.
Everyone can use the software but there is no warranty whatsoever. Certainly I am not responsible for whatever data loss or corruption it might cause. Nevertheless, if you have difficulties, you can also post here for community-based support. :)
For whatever reason if you don't trust the binaries included, you can also compile it yourselves and still use the scripts included.
Please use this for knoppix-halt.actual as I found that the remnant of debugging code was still there :-

Sorry I make big blunder, the GUI is confusing me :(

Whatever it is, inside the script, the line '/bin.static/busybox sh' below the line '#debug' should be commented.
