[Bug 1359296] [NEW] Shutting down OpenVPN before umount network shares causes 120 second timeout on shutdown

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I mount a few CIFS shares through a vpn - openvpn more specifically.

E.g. cifs entry in /etc/fstab

//vpn.domain.tld/Share    /mnt/vpnShare  cifs
noauto,user,uid=1000,gid=1000,username=none,password=none,iocharset=utf8
0       0

(since I'm authenticated with vpn certs, I don't need
username/password... cifs server only listens to vpn addresses).

So, when I want to access the share then, I have a little bash script on
my desktop that I can just run:

#!/bin/bash
mount /mnt/vpnShare


That all works fine. However when I shut down, I have the problem that Kubuntu shuts down OpenVPN  BEFORE  it umounts that vpn-mounted share.

So during shut down process it then tries to umount that share but
because openvpn is already stopped, that share is unresponsive. That
causes a 120 seconds timeout delay.

I think before shutting down OpenVPN first shares mounted through the
vpn should be umounted.
