This got recently fixed in git. Please verify.

I'm a bit confused. In #systemd, I'd been told that this was not relevant to my specific issue, and that the problem was solely with my distro.

So, here's where I've been discussing it:

Bug 903560 - opensuse 13.1 ( + Kernel:Stable 3.17.2 + systemd 210) exec of `shutdown` restarts machine instead
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903560#c40

Is the fixed-in-git you are referencing relevant to the issue with systemd discussed at opensuse?

Unlikely, since that bug was introduced after 216.

Oh yeah, 210 is too old.

On the upstream ML we usually discuss only more recent problems, which
are exposed upstream. Hence, please contact the Suse folks for more
help on the issue, or check if a current systemd version fails.

Already done, and just fyi -- appears now to be fixed:

@ https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903560#c48

rpm -q --changelog systemd
* Thu Nov 13 2014 ***@suse.de
- Change patch 0001-add-hdflush-for-reboot-or-hddown-for-poweroff.patch
to skip hdflush as well as hddown but only use halt as fallback
for poweroff as well as synch in systemctl before any reboot command
(compare with commit 4a3ad39957399c4a30fc472a804e72907ecaa4f9)

https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Base:System/systemd/0001-add-hdflush-for-reboot-or-hddown-for-poweroff.patch?expand=1

shutdown now shuts down correctly.

Thanks!

I cannot make any sense out of that commit I must say. I really wish
suse would discuss this with us upstream, if there's a bug to fix
upstream...

It seems that they add reboot(RB_HALT_SYSTEM) as a fallback to reboot(RB_POWER_OFF).
I'd consider this a workaround for a bug in firmware or hardware.
I seems like it shouldn't hurt, so maybe let's take this part?

The other thing is adding an additional sync. I think you added one
in the meanwhile.
