Do you have network-manager installed? If you have it could cause the problem. Init script for shutting down network-manager has higher priority than umountnfs.sh script that unmounts network filesystems like nfs/cifs. Solution is to not use network-manager (tested) or modify network-manager script to require umount network filesystems before it shuts down (not tested) Best regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
