There is a problem, relating to "init" busying the /usr/share on shutdown! If this fs is on a separate drive partition, it might not umount cleanly. This hangs up shutdown. I use a -l (lazy) umount preceded by sync and with sleeps to try to get arouind all this. Shutdown works, the partitions (ext3) recovers with its journal on next bootup and all is clean and fine. But this "init" problem has been going on for a while--would like to see this fixed :-)
