I use reiserfs, so fsck wouldnt run anyway. :-) But it doesnt replay the log 
when mounting which means it umounted properly. The last message i get from 
runit (not from the script) is "unmounting any remaining filesystems", so 
that would explain the clean mount. 

Allso, I tried to pipe all of the echo lines out to a file instead to see if 
it was just a strange screen problem, but the output still stopped at 6, so 
the execution of the scripts stops at the first svwaitdown line, but runit 
itself doesnt stop the shutdown.
