This script is there to make sure as much effort as possible has been
done to prevent file system corruption before rebooting/powering off.
For the file systems that are in use (such as /) they cannot be
unmounted at shutdown time, so this script remounts them read only so
they will be in a clean when the machine reboots/powers off.
