Fixing long shutdown delays when using smbfs in openSUSE 11.x
Download article as PDF
By Maurice on January 23 popularity:
Oh, this fixes a major annoyance for me... I, well my laptop, suffered from long shutdown delays, cause be a mounted cifs network share. Finally I fixed id.
The problem is caused by - what I guess are - incorrect dependencies, or order, of the shutdown scripts in openSUSE. I think it would be solved when 'smbfs stop' is executed before 'network-remotefs stop' is executed...

I tried to change the order of the shutdown scripts, tried to solve it in halt.local, all to no avail. Until I found this thread about the same problem with Ubuntu.

Somebody wrote a script for it, I ported this script for use with openSUSE and it fixed my problems.

Download this zip: smbfs_fix.gz
Unzip it:
gunzip smbfs_fix.gz

Copy the script to /etc/rc.d
cp smbfs_fix /etc/rc.d

Make it executable
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/smbfs_fix

Enable it
chkconfig smbfs_fix on


That's it.
