Exactly what are you using to shut the system down?

I have done repeated test with `halt` (KGMD) and `shutdown` (PIWO/Draco)
and every reboot I get filesystem not unmounted cleanly. I didn't have GEM
running - which usually means `halt` fails.

Does anyone else experience this?

I'm running 1.15.1 (non-beta) on an Afterburner, TOS 4.04.
