Hi Thierry, I'm on jaunty, I've tried the package but I still have the same problem. On my jaunty install the problem is even worse, it doesn't get past the unmounts or perhaps it just takes extremely long, I have to hard-shutdown my laptop every time I shut down and forget to unmount these file systems first. In my opinion this is really a kernel problem, and a big one. If there is no route to the host (which is the case if the network is down), the cifs vfs should properly detect this and not wait for some timeout. And it *can* easily detect this: when the network is down and I do a ping, I also get "no route to host". I don't see any reason why the cifs vfs shouldn't be able to detect this as well. Also, your current attempt at a solution will only solve the problem when the network is still up. But what if I shut down while my wireless network is gone? For instance, when I've moved away from my home location with the laptop on or (probably) suspended? Or what if my wireless network simply shuts down by itself? It tends to do that. :-) I really hope that somebody will find time to look at a proper, kernel based solution.
