[Bug 614731] Re: shutdown hangs with wlan autofs/nfs mountedhomedirs

[Sam Liddicott]

I'm pretty sure that the problem is because the network stops before 
filesystem unmounts, and so the nfs unmount hangs because the file 
server is unreachable.

The fix would be to unmount network file systems before stopping the 
network.

But that would require stopping processes that use network file systems 
even sooner than that.

But some processes are used to manage the network card (particularly 
wireless network) so they can't be killed before un-mounting the network 
file systems.

The current workaround is to use windows with roaming profile or 
something like that, I believe that works quite well.
