Not new issue in C203. When I connect to IPfire over ssh and I reboot IPfire, ssh session is not terminated and it hangs, ssh terminal is frozen and has to be terminated manually with a “secret” key sequence [ESC ~ .](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28981112/how-do-i-close-a-frozen-ssh-session). I know that other Linux distributions close ssh session on reboot so I assume this small issue could be fixed in IPfire too.

Other small issue I noticed that EFI partition is “dirty”, it was not unmounted properly when disk image was generated; could be be fixed with `fsck /dev/sda2`. But maybe that is not so easy, I fixed it, I rebooted IPfire and I see that “dirty bit” is set again. Mayby a BIOS is source of that “trouble”?
