how to: automatically umount cifs partitions

[max.durden]

Hi everybody,
I'm posting a modification of a simple script originally coded by 'jferrando'
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthre...highlight=cifs
devoted to automatically umount cifs partitions in the shutdown and reboot sequence of Ubuntu (Dapper+). The main problem with the original script was that mount locations of cifs partitions had to be explicitly hardcoded in the script: I have written a simple routine which detects all mounted cifs-partition and umount them before proceeding with the other phases of the shutdown/reboot sequences.

-----------------------------------------------------
Instructions are very simple:
uncompress archive and set 'chmod +x' on the mountcifs file
sudo cp mountcifs /etc/init.d/

cd /etc/rc0.d
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/mountcifs K02mountcifs

cd /etc/rc6.d
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/mountcifs K02mountcifs

...that's all!
------------------------------------------------------
I've experienced problem in the shutdown of my laptop just after sharing cifs filesystems with other PCs in a VPN network... this script fixed the problem.... hope it will be useful for someone out there!

Happy Coding
Max

Works fine for me.

The script worked well and ended my CIFS VFS: No Response for cmd 50 error that would lock my sys on shutdown.

Unfortunately, now i get one at the same place that says:
"CIFS VFS: No Response for Cmd 113"

However, this error does not lock the system, it just hangs for about 5 seconds and then continues to shutdown properly.

Any Ideas?

Hi, thanks, it's very useful to me.

Thank you! This solved the problem I was having in Feisty Fawn 7.04 with long delays on the

"CIFS VFS: No Response for Cmd (various)"

Your solution worked immediately (no need to reboot after applying).

Thanks!!

What does happen if you try and shutdown with cifs still mounted? If it's something bad, then this is a bug, and bugs should be fixed.

For me it just pauses with the "no response for cmd 50 mid" error. It then continues after about 5-10 seconds and shutsdown.

You are right though, it does seem to be a bug
