This is the dismount part of my script:

Calling sync twice?
Must be an "old" person. It was common practice back in the early
1980's to call sync
twice before shutdown on Solaris.
Don't ask me why. I was just "done that way".
Okay. I remember enough "don't ask, just do it this way" techniques from
old days that I am certainly prepared to buy this one
Again, I believe it was to ensure any background tasks writing to
system volumes were "done". The typical command was
sync;sync;shutdown -h now
or (if you're as ancient as I am)
sync;sync;init 0

Rick:
Thread hopelessly out-of-sync on my end so I apologize if replies come
out of order (do not understand what the cause is but am suspecting at
least part of it is on my end)
Given that I have the same "ancient issue", I am surprised I don't
remember this one as I searched online and there are a bunch of
references to it. But I do have a memory of having to do song-and-dance
regarding shutting down ... jsut can't remember the eact song or dance
