Bug Description

If I have any network shares mounted via CIFS, the cifsd process prevents klaptop from suspending/hibernating.
Unmounting manually first fixes everything. Mounting using smbfs instead of cifs lets suspend/hibernate work
fine, but that's not a good solution, as smbfs is not the preferred solution. I'm not sure if this is specific
to klaptop, or if it applies to all power management, as klaptop is the only way I can get my laptop to
suspend.

This is Kubuntu 5.10, kernel 2.6.12-9, KDE 3.4.3

Suspend, hibernate, shutdown and reboot, all produce errors on use for me on gnome/ubuntu 8.04 amd64 when I have smbfs shares in fstab.

it seems that the network connection is closed before the networked fs is unmounted reulting in halted shutdown.

this is not specific to Ubuntu, either - my Gentoo box has the same problem

also, this isn't a KDE problem at all, it's more a problem of CIFS in the linux kernel

Hi n3st5p702,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 24330

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to re-open this, because I'm still having this problem using Ubuntu 9.04.

Another symptom is the receiving of CIFS error messages when the PCs try to suspend. Checking other sites on the net, and apparently it's due to the network connection being dropped before unmounting the shares - something CIFS freaks out at apparently. However, none of the solutions provided (i.e. adding umountnfs.sh higher up in the rc0.d etc.) solve this for me.

But back to this one specifically, when trying to suspend - either from the menu/Shutdown, or by using the Fn keys - 8/10 times, the laptop will start to suspend, and then come back to the lock screen. Interestingly, if I then Fn-F2 (Dell Inspiron 6400) to force suspend from that screen, it usually does suspend okay. I can only assume this is because the first suspend attempt unmounts the CIFS mounts so the laptop is then free to suspend the second time?

I've attached the output of apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 24330. Please let me know if you require anything further. But this is definitely still a bug - and an annoying one at that! I would have thought there would be more people complaining about this, given the popularity of mounting CIFS shares. Weird.

Tested natty-proposed on my laptop. Suspend works with cifs mount, and if a process is reading a file on a cifs mount. If a process is writing a file to a cifs mount we do not suspend, we just get a black screen. However, this is what we wanted as it fixes the case for most users, and improves the system.

Phil, you're right. Hibernate is disabled by default in Xubuntu 12.04 due to known bugs. Don't count on hardware that supports suspend or hibernate to work with the 'buntus or even other debian based distros. It's supposed to be specific to laptops, but it's disabled on desktop systems too, and after enabling it I find yes it is a bug/annoyance.
I'm wondering if these "tasks refusing to freeze" could be automated TO freeze, before the hibernate or suspend command is executed, instead of this error message (abut 7 in 10 times on my system, sometimes it works flawlessly. Doesn't seem to matter that everything is closed except weather app and samba shares.)
Alternatively, would this not work if the user were logged out and all activity suspended (as it were) before hibernate or suspend were carried out?
