I'm seeing the same thing. I have /, /usr, /usr/local on different
partitions. Sometimes on shutdown it says / is busy, other times it
complains about /usr and /usr/local instead.
What is curious is that the subsequent reboot never complains
that these partitions have been not been cleanly unmounted.
