Flash unmounting on halt

When there's a Flash-drive mounted to system with data that is still in cache (after data was moved from HDD to Flash), is it 100% safe to "# halt" Arch system? I always unmount Flash before shutting Arch down so it won't turn off before all the data transfered from cache to Flash-drive. Is there any possibility that Arch won't move all the cached data to Flash in time before shutting PC down? Or it waits strictly untill the cache is empty?

Re: Flash unmounting on halt

Arch won't shutdown until the filesystems are properly unmounted, so your data should be safe.
