I would assume this is not pssible since at least one process always
uses / or a directory below.
If you look at your /etc/init.d/umountfs script, you can see that / is
_not_ unmounted, but mounted readonly.
here's a part of script from my slink system:
<...>
# Write a reboot record to /var/log/wtmp before unmounting
halt -w
echo -n "Deactivating swap... "
swapoff -a
echo "done."
echo -n "Unmounting file systems... "
umount -a -r
echo "done."
mount -n -o remount,ro /
-eof-
After unmounting/mounting ro, the raid devices are shut down and then
either "halt -d -f -i -p" or "reboot -d -f -i" is executed.
man halt/reboot/poweroff:
<...>
-d Don't write the wtmp record. The -n flag implies
-d.
-f Force halt or reboot, don't call shutdown(8).
-i Shut down all network interfaces just before halt
or reboot.
-p When halting the system, do a poweroff. This is the
default when halt is called as poweroff.
