Does this work reliably for you? I tried doing the remounting trick,
both for root and /usr, back in the 4.x time frame. And could never
get it to work - would always end up with inconsistent file systems.
There were many fixes in this area lately. The case where a
file system with softdeps would fail to update to read-only
is fixed in -CURRENT and these changes are merged to -STABLE.
It is believed to work correctly.

Remounting with soft updates enabled used to be too
fragile to be useful. Now it seems very solid.
