Good point. However, an argument could also be made that if a user uses Network Manager to set up and establish the network connections, the user expects Network Manager to own and manage those connections. A logical extension of this expectation is that, when Network Manager is shut down, it takes its connections with it. If the user wants a more "permanent" connection, then the user should set up the connection manually. At least, that's the way I would expect things to work. -- 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) -- 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
