[PlanetCCRMA] fc4 journaling

[David Slimp]

I've heard bad things about journaling filesystems and audio.
Some others on the list might know better than I do, but
having to keep up with the journal on top of writing the normal
data is obviously going to slow you down. Personally, I'd
recommend using tune2fs and switing back to non-journaling
ext2 filesystem.

I don't care much for GUIs .... the menus are always different,
and sometimes are missing things (as you've found), things get
moved around from version to version, or get "updated" to a
different interface you have to RE-learn !
I keep an icon on the desktop which opens up a command terminal.
>From there switch user to root:
    su -
then shutdown with this command:
    init 0

Maybe someone else knows the GUI method.... until they go change
it on you again. ;)
