Re: FYI: how to (really) cleanly shutdown the system when root is on multiple stacked block devices

As far as I know, the "remount,ro" does a complete flush, just
as an umount does. So, yes, the fs-layer "umount"/"remount,ro" 
should make sure everything is on disk when it returns. 

ON addition, any meta-information (RAID superblock, LVM superblock, 
LUKS header) should be written to disk immediately after a change.
