As I wrote on similar bug 792007 I am always able to release the blocking by restarting network-manager. Try: sudo service network-manager restart
Please leave a comment here if you know a permanent workaround to automatically unmount nfs shares BEFORE the network-manager disconnects.. It seems that scripts in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/ get executed too late. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516592 Title: Network manager kills NFS link on going to sleep hanging Gnome etc. Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager When the system is going to sleep Network Manager unloads the network interface even though the home directory is NFS loaded on that interface. Obviously there is still more work happening on that directory and so the system hangs on I/O in the case where NFS is mounted with the hard option. This prevents power saving and the system is unusable as Network Manager dies with the rest of Gnome all waiting for I/O If you log in on one of the TTYs shutting the system down cleanly fails on the kernel hung I/O and so the only way out is to press the reset button. here is the syslog output showing network manager stopping the nic just before the kernel says ouch I have no file system to talk to: Feb 2 21:33:53 desktop kernel: [19339.921076] CPU0 attaching NULL sched-domain.
