Network stops before network shares are unmounted (fstab)

Hi,

I use fstab to set up my network shares. In my rc.conf I have "network" then "netfs". When shutting down, the network is stopped before the shares are unmounted so the system never shuts down; it just hangs trying to unmount them.

Is there another/better way to specify network shares or a fix for this issue?

Thanks

Re: Network stops before network shares are unmounted (fstab)

Hi,

I think my solution is better for mobile computers that are not always connecting to the same network: using networkmanager you can make a 'dispatcher'-script that only loads after connecting to a specified network. There are examples on the wiki.

This way, my laptop is not trying to connect to my home NFS-shares when I connect to my parents' network, which could be a security risk.
