Hi Spaetz. That "fix" was documented as early as comment 7 and is discussed thoroughly throughout the 110 or so comments. Sadly, the fix doesn't work in Karmic any more. Well, I'll qualify that - it works for wired connections, but not for WIFI. Network Manager brings WIFI connections down internally on a shutdown signal BEFORE any startup/shutdown script is run.
I recommend anyone still affected by this bug to use autofs to mount their CIFS and NFS shares. Autofs gracefully kills the connection on an interface disconnection without triggering the dreaded "CIFS VFS server not responding" message and subsequent 90 second delay.
I *think* that this bug is only apparent now if :
a) You're mounting remote NFS/CIFS shares by specifying them in /etc/fstab AND
b) You're using WIFI to connect to said shares and you forget to disconnect/unmount the shares before shutting down.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not sure if there's a way to update the bug to reflect this?
