Agreed this bug needs to be fixed but this script worked so well!!! Thanks everyone for posting this much needed help. I used it last night and it doesnt give me any more errors when unmounting my samba drives.:guitar:

Worked like a charm for me too!
max, thanks for this. It is too bad that after two years, your fix has not been incorporated. Hopefully, the 8-year-olds will quit bickering and just apply the fix. FWIW, I agree with the developer who said this is not an smbfs problem.
Thanks Max ! it solved my umount cifs hang in 8.10 as well !
I still think canonical should somehow automate this though.
Cheers
worked a treat (in Intrepid)
The problem is fixed. Oh yeah!! Thanks for sharing....:D
Hey guys,
I tried Max's script recently with no joy... then i found this thread which is a much simpler solution and works perfectly!

Enjoy
Worked for me on 8.10, but only after I set umountcifs to K00!
9.04, and it works just swell. I don't suppose I would need this if HFSplus volumes could be shared out over NFS, but they can't. -Something to do with HFSplus not running at the kernel level. Hence smb.
Anyway thanks from 2009 back to 2006; hacking your system is what Linux is all about! There's no hack like an old hack. etc. etc.
