Troubleshoot
When shutting down the PC with Samba (CIFS) shares mounted, the shutdown sequence hangs with the following error messages:
CIFS VFS: server not responding CIFS VFS: no response for cmd 50 mid xxx
This is apparently a bug that is creeping in Ubuntu since a long time ago. Basically there are 2 possible fixes (as in [1], [2], [3]):
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc0.d/K15umountnfs.sh
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc6.d/K15umountnfs.sh
and as proposed by Daniel Ellis here [[4]]:
sudo mv /etc/rc0.d/S31umountnfs.sh /etc/rc0.d/K31umountnfs.sh
sudo mv /etc/rc0.d/S40umountfs /etc/rc0.d/K40umountfs
sudo mv /etc/rc6.d/S31umountnfs.sh /etc/rc6.d/K31umountnfs.sh
sudo mv /etc/rc6.d/S40umountfs /etc/rc6.d/K40umountfs
