[Bug 211631] Re: CIFS/SMBFS issue (was not resolved on #207441)

Hi Chuck

I can umount and re- mount the shares using the command line (sudo
umount -a and sudo mount -a) and it works successfully. I get nautilus
sessions opening for each mounted drive every time I do this, which is
very annoying!

I can do the following:
hamish at ht-laptop:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.73.10/<sharename>  /home/hamish/nas_<sharename>
Password: 

And it works successfully :-)

I *really* think that the problem is to do with the system attempting to
read the /etc/fstab file and mount the drives *before* the network is
up, and the reverse on the dismounts at shutdown/restart.

This works OK, as I get the drives mounted and then a separate nautilus
session opens for each connected drive (which as I said previously is
very annoying!), but we have the errors in the logs to prove that not
all is good with this system of mounting drives.

K20avahi-daemon    S01linux-restricted-modules-common  S90reboot
K25hwclock.sh          S15wpa-ifupdown

As you can see, S40umountfs is *after* S15wpa-ifupdown in both the above
rc0.d and rc6.d. I *strongly* believe this is the problem.

Hope this helps
