Arch does not umount busy disks before shutdown?

Hello,

Been using Arch on my Laptop, Desktop, Firewall and HTPC for a couple years now. I really like the setup.
When shutting down the pc, Arch runs the shutdown scripts that umount the mounted volumes. If the volume is busy, it gives me a message:

"/mnt/sdc4: device is busy"

But then continues to power off, leaving my disk(s) in an inconsistent state on boot. It seems to me that Arch should wait until the disks are properly un-mounted before shutting off.

Does anyone else see this as an issue?

Thanks,

Nate

Guess I'm not the only one with this issue...
