 re'B'oot is good when you're unable to shut down. But you should also 'S'ync
 and 'U'mount first.
 
+'C'rashdump can be used to manually trigger a crashdump when the system is hung.
+The kernel needs to have been built with CONFIG_KEXEC enabled.

 'S'ync is great when your system is locked up, it allows you to sync your
 disks and will certainly lessen the chance of data loss and fscking. Note
 that the sync hasn't taken place until you see the "OK" and "Done" appear
