Hi folks!
I'm running OpenWrt on a A64+. "Poweroff" in terminal on the device results in a reboot. It's OpenWrt related. That means, whenever I want to power off, I simply pull the plug, which leads to dirty flag set on the SD card (ext4).
So here is my question:
Is there any difference between pull the plug..or..hold down the power button for several seconds until it cuts out? Will the dirty flag also be set with that procedure?
The power button is not yet installed and I would guess there is no routine implemented in OpenWrt to "poweroff" the device safely with just a tap on the button.
I know a router is intended to run 24/7, so it's not a big deal. I'm just interested if there is a difference in the procedures.
