FASTBOOT(8) FASTBOOT(8) NAME fastboot, fasthalt - reboot/halt the system without checking the disks SYNOPSIS /etc/fastboot [ boot-options ] /etc/fasthalt [ halt-options ] DESCRIPTION Fastboot and fasthalt are shell scripts which reboot and halt the sys‐ tem without checking the file systems. This is done by creating a file /fastboot, then invoking the reboot program. The system startup script, /etc/rc, looks for this file and, if present, skips the normal invocation of fsck(8).
