Okay, I am late to this party.

This should be "cryptsetup remove". Although the two are identical
operations, the "luksClose" keyword seems to indicate that something
LUKS-specific is happening here, which it isn't.

According to the manpage, you can use the name of the dmraid set to only
deactivate this specific dmraid set only. Determining this name from the
device name seems to be harder than with LVM, but I don't have any
dmraid-capable hardware to give you specifics.


Is there any way to make something similar work with loop devices? You
would need to disable the loop device before umounting the underlying
file system. If we could solve this as well, then archiso probably
wouldn't need its special shutdown hook anymore.
