Problems with poweroff/reboot and samba shares

I am mounting samba shares using the cifs method as described in the Arch Wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acc … dows_share).  While I am able to mount and umount the share with no issues, I run into problems if I try to reboot or power off the machine without unmounting the samba share.  During the power off/reboot process, the machine hangs with the following message: "Unmounting Filesystem"

My /etc/fstab entry:

//dns323/backup /media/backup cifs credentials=/home/USER/.credentials,iocharset=utf8,noauto,user,noatime 0 0

I think you need to add the netfs daemon to your rc.conf after the network daemon, so that it will umount the filesystem before switching off the network.

Thanks for the response!
Unfortunaly, I still have the same problem when using the following:

DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng dbus hal @network @netfs sensors @net-profiles @crond @alsa @openntpd @mpd @dropboxd @laptop-mode cpufreq)

The machine actually continues to reboot/poweroff after it "hangs" for about 45 seconds.  Is there an option to speed this up (change timeout?)?

Thanks!

Re: Problems with poweroff/reboot and samba shares

same issues here, nefs doesn't mount my samba shares at boot, and rebooting takes about 45 seconds, is it safe to forcefully unmount a share with either a lazy unmount or the f trigger, or is there a way to tell it to "STOP YOUR CRAP AND UNMOUNT NOW?"

 CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation                                                                                                                                    CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -101

Re: Problems with poweroff/reboot and samba shares

Has anyone solved this problem?  I have a file server that everyone in my house connects to.  They all use windows and just stay connected all the time.  I want to be able to just for them to disconnect so i can reboot.

Anyone know what I can do?

Re: Problems with poweroff/reboot and samba shares

I also have various DNS323 cifs share mounts and this "delay" problem in Linux- yet a year later. I'll check netfs daemon and also try unmounting in rc.local.shutdown to see if that helps.
