Yes, I'm pretty sure I would have. I will check though.

Yes.
It seems for any other FS other than / you can remount the
raid-superblock RO with "ref == 1" as the reference that is open is
the process calling the ioctl to remount RO. For / fs, you always
have a second reference and this screws you.
I'm actually not sure how / is supposed to work on RAID so perhaps I
have this wrong.

Possibly, but this should get released again making XFS no different
than any other fs... so I'm not sure XFS is to blame.
I will try to get call-chains from *all* calls to the open on /dev/md0
and see what falls out. I should probably also get release
information too :)
