Shutdown

[Colin Parker]

Hello,
    Can I ask two quick related questions?

1) I have been using Sculpt on real hardware. What I do for shutdown is to
open "Storage" under "Components" and de-select "Use" on my primary
"GENODE*" partition. I assumed that this would cause any pending file
operations to complete, similar to a UNIX "sudo umount". Is that right?

2) Sometimes I do feel the need to reboot Sculpt, but potentially this is
not completely necessary if there were a way to restart certain services.
Is it possible to restart internal components? Most common culprits for me
would be usb_drv, and the depot-related components. Ideally this could be
done without the runtime system killing my VMs, but I suspect that's asking
too much.

Regards,
Colin
