[SOLVED] Issues with Systemd NFS automount

I am using Systemd automount for my NFS share. There is my configs:

#/etc/systemd/system/mnt-storage.mount 

[Unit]
Description=Storage on grotten

[Mount]
What=grotten:/mnt/storage
Where=/mnt/storage
Type=nfs4
Options=rw,_netdev
LazyUnmount=yes

#/etc/systemd/system/mnt-storage.automount 

[Unit]
Description=Automount storage on grotten

[Automount]
Where=/mnt/storage
TimeoutIdleSec=300

[Install]
WantedBy=remote-fs.target

mnt-storage.automount is enabled. Also I have a storage symlink in my ~/ to /mnt/storage.

I have two annoying trobles with this mount.

1. On shutdown or reboot there is "Stop job is running for mnt-storage.mount" with 90 sec timeout.

Workaround is unit

#/etc/systemd/system/mnt-storage-unmount.service 

[Unit]
Description=unmount-nfs shares from raspi-nas
DefaultDependencies=no
Before=shutdown.target reboot.target halt.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/umount /mnt/storage
Type=oneshot

[Install]
WantedBy=shutdown.target

It works fine, but it seems like dirty way. I want Systemd to umount in propper way.

2. When I have no connection to my NFS server (e. g. network is down or I am in other network), file manager (e. g. Thunar) stucks to show me my home.
I tried the soft option, but it did not take any effect.

So how can I deal with my mount?

Re: [SOLVED] Issues with Systemd NFS automount

You could strace thunar to get an idea what it's doing when blocking.

Edit: it might be relevant whether gvfs and/or thunar-volman are installed.

Exactly! Without thunar-volman there is no hangs anymore. Thank you again!
