This release (built on the latest network-manager in intrepid-proposed) basically prevents network-manager from being shut down by sendsigs... From my testing this solves the CIFS hanging during umountnfs, and also ensures the network filesystems are still available when the processes are stopped by sendsigs (allowing them to shutdown without data loss). It was inspired by Daniel J Blueman proposed patch on (related) bug 113095.
Could you please test if it solves the issue for your specific case, and tell me about any side-effects.
OK, I uploaded a network-manager upgrade for intrepid to my PPA: /launchpad. net/~ttx/ +archive/ ppa
