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
