Nevermind....nothing that a few double Sliders couldn't fix. :-) I was just being overly anal. If I'd just looked at the shutdown I'd have seen that boot.localfs kindly remounts the filesystem as readonly when it can't unmount it. Spits out a warning, but I can live with it.
In case anyone wants to be anal about it: 1) In /etc/sysconfig/shutdown, set: HALT_POWERDOWN_INSERT="exit" 2) Create a script somewhere NOT in one of your mounted rw filessytems that unmounts any filesystems that could not be unmounted because they were in use by the rc scripts. 3) Run that script from inittab during runlevels 0 and 6 after the normal "rc" scripts.

For you "shared root crazies" out there, how did you get /etc to unmount during shutdown? (on SLES10) I've been tinkering around with this and everything works well except that it won't unmount /etc during shutdown since it's in use by the "rc" script(s) when boot.localfs runs. And since /etc is a read/write mount, I'd rather not pull the rug out from under it. Well, I'm actually fibbing just a little since I did find a way to do it cleanly, but it's not pretty. So I was hoping to either find out I was doing something wrong or if it's just the way it is.
