[Bug 211631] Re: Network is brought down before network filesystems are unmounted (CIFS timeout at shutdown)

[whochismo]

I have had this problem for a long time, in different ubuntu versions,
but this is the first time (Ubuntu 11.04) that I am unable to find a
workaround.

Before, I used to create a script that would umount the network drives
and place it at /etc/network/if-down.d. It used to work for Ubuntu
10.10, but now it doesn't anymore.

I don't think it's going to be solved anytime soon, so, any
solution/workaround?

  I installed smbfs,and then put some entries into /etc/fstab, so they automount on startup. An example of this is here:
  //<ip address of nas box>/<share name>  /home/hamish/<directory name>  cifs  credentials=/home/hamish/.smbcredentials,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000  0  0

  ** note the use of "cifs" in the lines above **

  (The username and password are in the .smbcredentials file)

  On startup, for each entry in the /etc/fstab file, I get the following in dmesg:
  [   70.495504]  CIFS VFS: Error connecting to IPv4 socket. Aborting operation
  [   70.495569]  CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -101
  But the shares are mounted, and a nautilus session opens up (which is also annoying...)

  Also logging off with CIFS shares mounted in /etc/fstab, it sits with an error message:
  CIFS VFS: server not responding
  CIFS VFS: no response for cmd 50 mid <this number changes>
  And takes about 2 minutes to timeout. This also happened with Gutsy

  Should the timing of the mounting and dismounting be changed so that
  it works? It is related to the starting of network-manager and CIFS
  shares trying to connect on startup *before* the network is up, and
  dismounting the shares *after* network-manager is stopped.
