Unfortunately you can not fully shut down the plug. It's like PCs before ATX
And it was designed to be on 24/7 AFAIK, it doesn't consume that much power...

Not that I know of. How long were you waiting between the "reboot" and unplugging it? Did you wait for the drive activity to stop?

Thought I'd update this thread. Just re-installed arch on the Dockstar, and after uboot install portion of install page, could not ssh. Read all the threads here and elsewhere, and got this message, when putting usb stick into another linux system:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb

The superblock could not be read or does not describe the correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains and ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193')

So I started from scratch, and the 2nd time I ran the fidisk routine (exact steps as on install page), I got messages about writing backups of superblocks that I didn't get the first time. 2nd install went fine, but there isn't clear documentation on how to format to ext3, since mk2fs.ext3 and tune2fs aren't yet on the pogo at the time the instructions wanted to format.

My sd card is a sandisk fit 16gb, first attempt was just using the card out of the packaging, so maybe the first fdisk didn't clear everything off, while the 2nd did?

I think ext2 will be fine, but would rather have ext3/4 if/when it gets supported by the boot loader, or if it can be reformatted in another system with tune2fs, etc.
