Okay, so right now we have:

        SIGKILL         - Die instantly (leaves a mess)
        SIGTERM         - Try to shut down cleanly but die no matter what
        SIGUSR2         - Try to shut down cleanly but continue if not possible
        SIGUSR1         - Prune as many mounts as possible, but don't
                          shut down
