[Bug 373999] [NEW] CIFS loops endlessly when remote host is down

[ddcc]

Public bug reported:

CIFS will endlessly output 'CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -112, written -[random value]'
Attempting to unmount with -f, killing the cifs process, and all other methods fail; it repeatedly attempts to unmount despite the fact that the remote host is down. This endless repetition slows down the entire system.


Steps to reproduce:
Using nautilus, connect to a remote Windows host and mount the share
Shut down the remote computer without unmounting the share
Attempt to unmount the share

** Affects: samba (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
