Network mounts don't get unmounted on ifdown

[disabled.user]

Binary package hint: initscripts

This is for Ubuntu 6.06.1.

When a network interface comes up, network mounts from fstab get mounted via /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs. But if the (single present) network interface gets shut down via ifdown, the network mounts don't get unmounted beforehand, resulting for example in timeouts when listing the directory where the network mount is (or should be) mounted.

Now there's the problem if more than one network interface is present, so that network mounts can't simply be automatically unmounted on every ifdown via a script in /etc/network/if-down.d/.

Has always been the case that NFS mounts don't get unmounted on ifdown, even before we moved mounting to ifup

We can fix this with upstart

[disabled.user (disabled.user-deactivatedaccount)]

There is also the issue that after system startup, cifs mounts from fstab don't make it into mtab, but they are definitely mounted. When bringing up the network manually, cifs mounts get mounted by /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs and show up in mtab (see also Bug#44874 and Bug#62607).

But I can't really tell if this issue is with smbfs or with initscripts.
