CIFS mounts will cause stalls on shutdown

medicated · 2005-03-24 09:45:33

I've had this problem for awhile, but I've been brushing it under the rug. I have several mount points set up so that I can access several different webspaces locally. They are all set up so that they need to be manually mounted(I don't need them at every mount). I have some mount problems..but thats not my main issue..talk about them laer.. My main concern is that when I try to shut down my system, it stalls upon trying to unmount these filesystems. I am unable to umount them on my own..but not at shutdown. I think the problem lies in the area of the order of unmounting. I just ran across that idea, so I'll report back my findings tomorrow, but does anyone have any idea what would cause this kind of problem?

if your network shuts down before the unmounting occurs, it might be causing the hang. I used to have this problem with samba shares I had mounted. If my connection died, it would hang on shutdown (actually it would eventually time out, but it took about 3 months--slight exaggeration)..

I think I came up with my own solution. In the netfs rc script mounts does not umount or mount cifs shares. It only deals with nfs,coda and smbfs. I added in cifs and it seems to work alright. I'll give this some time to make sure that it actually solves my problem though. The system naturally has a problem when the network connection goes down first and then it tries to umount the filesystem that it doesn't have access to. That make sense? I guess it does to me..err wait, that is exactly what you just said cactus

If you don't open a bug report the solution does not get applied to every arch user.

http://bugs.archlinux.org/

I've already opened this bug report for you.

well, sorry
the bug report is opened
how is that it has not been still fixed?, it's only to add 10 letters to the script....

Pajaro · 2005-05-20 08:48:34

it has been there for 3 months...

I'm starting to be tired of arch... but this is another story, and this is not the moment to talk about it...

I got an email a while back telling me that it was supposed to be fixed in the next realease of the initscripts :? I went ahead and fixed the problem within my own scripts and kinda forgot about the bug. I wonder whats going on with that. I understand the desire to wait for a more major release, but still. Its an issue thats being prolonged for much longer than it needs to.

I had this problem, for those googlers here is the solution, post this into your /etc/rc.local.shutdown file:

echo "Unmounting samba-cifs filesystems..."
MOUNTED_CIFS_DIRS=`mount -t cifs| cut -d\  -f3`
MOUNTED_DIRS_ARRAY=($MOUNTED_CIFS_DIRS)
for i in ${!MOUNTED_DIRS_ARRAY[@]}
do
  umount -l ${MOUNTED_DIRS_ARRAY[i]}
done

so that it looks like this:

[jam@ikaros ~]$ cat /etc/rc.local.shutdown 
#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/rc.local.shutdown: Local shutdown script.
#

echo "Unmounting samba-cifs filesystems..."
MOUNTED_CIFS_DIRS=`mount -t cifs| cut -d\  -f3`
MOUNTED_DIRS_ARRAY=($MOUNTED_CIFS_DIRS)
for i in ${!MOUNTED_DIRS_ARRAY[@]}
do
  umount -l ${MOUNTED_DIRS_ARRAY[i]}
done

[jam@ikaros ~]$

this will unmount the cifs mounts before the network goes down. Thanks.
