There is a relevant description of why this happens at http://www.jejik.com/articles/2007/07/automatically_mounting_and_unmounting_samba_windows_shares_with_cifs/
Problem seems to be that cifsd is killed before the unmounting takes place. There is a relevant shutdown script at http://www.jejik.com/files/examples/umountcifs the thing is, this not a bug in SMB itself, in stead it relates to the shutdown procedure of ubuntu which collides with the decision to mount cifs shares using a daemon. attached solution works. -- "CIFS VFS: Server not responding" message on shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
