Uhm, it does. Aside from the fact that it's not at all harmless as
mentioned, since the root fs is not unmounted. And since the journal
itself becomes corrupted, the log is lost.

However there seem to be no real progress on any front, including in the
bugs regarding cryptsetup and lvm2 (which I've seen before).

I cannot explain why given the exact same partition/volume scheme by
lvm/cryptsetup, in one case I can shutdown cleanly, and in the other it
breaks.

I looked at the documentation twice, but I couldn't see any way to
somehow simulate the chain of events that shutdown.target should
generate. I guess there's no way?
