how to: automatically umount cifs partitions

[diana.artemis]

Hacking /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default shouldn't be necessary for cifs. For NFS, just add the "soft" option to your nfs fstab line....

I am only using CIFS (not NFS). And umountnfs.sh looks after all the relevant file systems, including CIFS as the following relevant fragment of the umountnfs.sh script indicates:

...
case "$FSTYPE" in
  nfs|nfs4|smbfs|ncp|ncpfs|cifs|coda|ocfs2|gfs)
    DIRS="$MTPT $DIRS"
      ;;
   proc|procfs|linprocfs|devfs|devpts|usbfs|usbdevfs|sysfs)
     DIRS="$MTPT $DIRS"
      ;;
esac
...

So I guess I won't bother hacking /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default!

Many thanks for your thoughtful and instructive replies.

I've had the problem that linking /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh to /etc/rc0.d/K01umounntfs.sh does not work for my jaunty install on an Asus EEEPC 901.

Calling it from /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default works instead!

Many thanks for the advice.

Cheers Kai

Thanks kaiben, I used jaunty and this finally fix the error.

I put this line on my /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default file

/etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh

after the line

exit 0

and it fix.

Hello Pajarraco!

It worked 100% in Ubuntu Jaunty!

Thanks!

In Jaunty, I'm now having the opposite problem. When I start my laptop not connected to the network I get a long delay and error messages while it tries to mount the cifs partitions.

Is there a similar work around for this?

That's probably worth a new thread

Yeah, I wondered. I'll do that now.

Just chipping in to say that sander marechal's script worked great for me on Jaunty - thanks!
