Your options are : 1. Use a wired connection 2. Avoid Samba/CIFS shares and configure your server for NFS instead 3. Use AutoFS to create your network shares.
In case 3, AutoFS replaces the need to configure anything in /etc/fstab. Seems to work well enough with most connections, although another bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/autofs/+bug/393012/comments/34) will give you some issues when you first set it up. Samba shares and Ubuntu, at least over WIFI, don't make for a very happy experience, I'm afraid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211631 Title: Network is brought down before network filesystems are unmounted (CIFS timeout at shutdown) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/211631/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
