Yep, get used to it! ;->
The problem is that there are still at least two programs running at
shutdown time...the shutdown command and init. Since their current
working directory is somewhere on the root filesystem, root cannot be
unmounted...the best that can happen is that root gets remounted
read-only. And since your root filesystem cannot be unmounted, /dev/md1
will continue to be busy.
It is a completely harmless message though. I get something similar
about shuting down LVM...
