Hello, Can someone else have a look to the bug #19039. This old bug has been reassigned from sysvinit to mount, because of the following :
"If any remote filesystems are mounted, the system will hang after a shutdown -r and refuse to properly unmount even the local filesystems if any remote computer is not responding. For instance, if I mount a partition using NFS from machine alex, and then alex goes away, my machine will refuse to shut down because it apparently is trying to unmount from a machine that is no longer turned on (or whatever). This can cause corruption on LOCAL filesystems too." and Miquel van Smoorenburg reassigning it wrote: "As you can see, I reassigned this bug to "mount". Note that this is actually a kernel problem I am afraid as what you need to fix this is "hard unmounting", something not implemented in the Linux kernel. But a workaround would be a timeout in the mount program for NFS mounts.." If this not solved (at least by the use of the `intr' option when mounting a NFS) ?
