Of course, with modern journaled filesystems, like NTFS, Reiser, or EXT3, the danger is lower of filesystem corruption. Since I've been playing around with Mandriva's latest alpha (and, yes, Cooker is still the most active and volatile development branch of any distro I've used), I've had to use this command to release my machine to me twice so far (and since I couldn't get KDE 4 to boot, I wiped it off and tried the same with Kubuntu).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3041','MrCorey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3041','MrCorey','I do too, but I also want to keep from waiting for a fsck or scandisk to run through.

I wonder if they'd share! I wish that I'd have known of that command before I got the NVidia card for this computer. After all the hard locks trying to use 3D acceleration with the ATI card, that command would have been nice to know (I just used it on a frozen Mandriva Alpha 2 box, though).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3015','MrCorey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3015','MrCorey','I\'m sure that Sun has a super secret method of going down to a basic (e(p))rom-stored command of some sort.
