I've got a fresh CentOS 7 test machine, fully patched. The command:
shutdown -h now
surprisingly does not halt the machine. Instead it reboots it. WTF?
I found the following Debian discussion which seems to be the same issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766338
However, removing kexec-tools in this case did not solve the problem. Nor does "systemctl poweroff" work.
Does anyone else see this? No, nothing is filed in bugzilla yet.
