Yes, it's a known problem, and it's on my todo list to investigate and
fix.

The use of this at $WORK is without journalling, and we don't care
about the inconsistent file system for that particular use case.  (In
fact, in this particular case the iSCSI device is *gone*, and we're
using the shutdown to avoid processes to hang for a Very Long Time
after the device goes poof.  At least we're no longer crashing in the
writeback functions in a block device disappears....)
