Shutdown now brings the system into single-user mode, which has been the
case on all BSD systems as far back as I can remember. The system is
still running (well, init and the single-user shell anyway), and all the
FS are still mounted, so they are technically 'unclean'.
If you want to shutdown the system you either need to 'reboot' or 'halt'
it. ('shutdown -r or -h respectively).
