Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] NFS mount not properly unmounting during shutdown/reboot

Sorry, that wasn't much of a problem description...

I have a system that I often manually mount and unmount some NFS mounts...

If I try to do a reboot or shutdown of the system while one of these NFS 
mounts is mounted, it hangs with the last thing showing on the screen as 
"Unmounting /var..."

I've let it sit there for at least half an hour, maybe more, so I don't 
think it would ever continue...

If I remember to manually unmount the NFS mount before initiating the 
reboot/shutdown, it doesn't hang.

I'm guessing that it hangs at /var because it is the last mountpoint 
defined in my /etc/fstab?

So... any pointers on where to look for a resolution would be appreciated.

Resolution being, if I can manually unmount it fine, why can't the 
system auto-unmount it?

Thanks,

Charles
