Hi,

a few of times now I've woken up to a dead system with disk errors.  I click F to fix the errors and everything is fine.  I guess the last time the errors were too much as this didn't work.  Manually running fsck used up all memory and crashed.  The same thing happened when I ran a live cd and attempted to fix the disk.  So I re-installed the OS

I'm wondering if there is a more graceful way to shut down the system and avoid this or are we using best practices already?
