[Bug 211631] Re: CIFS/SMBFS shares not unmounted before network is shut down

[Alexander Sack]

Thierry, please extend your approach to not kill wpasupplicant on
shutdown either. i think thats the problem that is left with your ppa
packages here as the ones reporting that your ppa package doesnt help
are using wireless.

Once you have that please request a merge for the 0.7.1 branch and if
you want also for the 0.7 branch in intrepid and I will take care that
this gets into jaunty and after some baking to intrepid.

** Description changed:

- I installed smbfs, and then put some entries into /etc/fstab, so they automount on startup. An example of this is here:

+ 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.
