This is done on any system, which uses dracut and systemd for a long time now. As SUSE switched to dracut recently, it should be the same as on RHEL-7/Fedora now. If /run/initramfs/shutdown exists and is executable, /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown switches root to /run/initramfs/ and executes shutdown. The shutdown script umounts the old real root (after umounting /oldroot/{proc,sys,run,dev}), then if the old real root was living on an assembled device, like mdraid, the device is disassembled and waited for the device to be clean. See http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/dracut/dracut.git/tree/modules.d/99shutdown/shutdown.sh and for example for mdraid: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/dracut/dracut.git/tree/modules.d/90mdraid/md-shutdown.sh This solved quite a lot of problems for unsynced raids. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
