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.
