[solved] /dev/md1 : device or resource busy

Hi,

I have just terminated my installation, but at reboot I notice that the /dev/md1 device does not get unmounted properly. This worries me a lot, because it is the "/" device, it contains my system, and is a software raid0 array.
Is there any way to unmount it properly at shutdown/reboot? I fear that the array will get damaged in time if I dont find a solution quickly...

FYI : the other arrays (/dev/md0 and /dev/md2, for my data and media files) get unmounted without problems at reboot.

Thanks,

It should be synched and remounted read only. Thats OK.
It cannoy be unmounted as just prior to shutdown, its still in use.

So I shouldn't be too worried about the message and just leave it be?

Well, I get a message saying that my raid0 root has been remounted read only just before the machine powers off.
So I can say that it works for me

OK, good enough for me, it reads the same message before I shutdown as well.
