Maybe we should implement something similar to what Redhat does.
Redhat remounts all file systems that couldn't be unmounted for some
reason as read-only.

Another Good Thing To Do [tm] would be to do a sync before rebooting,
especially when doing a hard reset when the reboot script fails (as it 
does when libc6 is installed the first time).
