A "halt -fp" just unmounts file systems and immediately shuts down.
I find that CentOS systems that I've used for a while seem to hang on shutdowns; halt -fp is a way to get them down quickly. It is important to terminate any sensitive processes beforehand.
- SoftTalker 4y agoFor systems that hang or take intolerably long to shutdown, I typically do: systemctl --force [poweroff|reboot] From the man page, this means that "shutdown of all running services is skipped, however all processes are killed and all file systems are unmounted or mounted read-only, immediately followed by the powering off."
