That said, are you sure FIFREEZE is really what we want there? it

So, I am still puzzled why the file system people think that "sync()"
isn't supposed to actually sync things to disk...

Ah good, Dave actually suggests using a freeze there. A freeze without a corresponding thaw should be OK if it's definitely after all processes have been killed, since we're just about to reboot anyway. (Obviously we'd want to avoid the whole lot when running in a container or when doing kexec.)

I'll try to reproduce the problem (I don't use Plymouth, so I haven't seen it myself yet) and come up with a patch.
