Booting takes too long. Why? (/ was not properly dismounted)

	Rohit:
	You mean to say that when you use 'halt' instead of
	'shutdown -h', your machince boots faster?

	Roger:
	I don't think that 'shutdown -h' = 'halt'
	Rohit is not invoking halt.
	'shutdown -h -o' = 'halt'

	Rohit:
	Can you try 'shutdown -h -o' and let us know what's the
	result?

	Regards,
	Shantanu
