We have as a part of our shutdown scripts:

umount -a -d -r -t notmpfs,nosysfs,nodevtmpfs,noproc

What we expect is that the rootfs (/) will fail, but be remounted read 
only.  This doesn't seem to be happening because we get messages about 
recovery needed during the next boot.

We can work around it by adding

mount -n -o remount,ro /

I have a report that umount works as expected in version 2.21.2, but not 
in 2.22.2 or later.  I this a misunderstanding about umount or a bug?
