[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#516733: network-manager shuts down before CIFS is unmounted

[Pierre Ynard]

retitle 431966 network-manager shuts down before CIFS is unmounted
severity 477498 normal
merge 431966 477498 516733 481252 552104
reassign 431966 network-manager
thanks

After reading all these bug reports, I believe that the problem is most
likely tied to network-manager, whose init script is called before
/etc/init.d/umountfs.sh during the shutdown / reboot sequence. CIFS
network filesystems only need network access still available to be
properly unmounted by umountfs.sh; but since network-manager already cut
the network off, failures, timeouts and errors ensue.

Can any reporter comment on whether they still experience the issue?

Dear NM maintainers, could you please look at this and tell us if you
think this issue still persists today? And help us figure out how
dependencies or sendsigs exception should be adjusted to resolve this?

Thanks,
