@untseac Yeh man! I ALWAYS wait untill all my programs are set up and running and then just shut my amiga for NO reason!

The point of the video is that, you are going to lose all your data anyway, the Amiga doesn't need to save a load of crap to HD just to restart.

Elegant and efficient.

@lbrewer42 NeXTSTEP modeled on workbench? Put down the crackpipe and step away from the rock.

Most OSes have a delayed allocation feature. They try to write data to the disk at once, rather in pieces. A journal is used, to keep the disk consistent. I've switched off my Ubuntu PC many times writing to disk, and nothing bad has happened (though I wouldn't recommend it), ReiserFS would just fix the problem and be done with it.

[untseac]

That's because most OS use journal. You still lose some data though... but mostly it isn't important (probably just cache).

Anyway, what if the OS postpones writing data do disk? That's not unusual and you can't know that by watching the hd led. Seriously, turning off a computer by hardware is not a good idea, no matter how well the system protects against data loss.

The procedure is to wait until you are done writing to disk by looking at the HD lamp. In the old days, AmigaOS didn't have a swapping system (don't know today), so it was quite predictable, when disk writing was occurring. Some alternative file systems would allow you to shutdown anytime without damage, although there could be a little data loss from a missing write.
