    Hi Steve.

    I'm pretty sure umount flushes the write buffers associated to the
given partition and, therefore, there is no need for sync before it. For
what concerns 'mount -o remount,ro' , there is still the issue of file
metadata being modified if you don't specify noatime. I would  do 'mount
-o remount,ro,noatime'

     I don't know for the f. acls. For my own systems, all partitions
are always mounted with noacl; therefore I would also add it in the remount.
