(Using kernel 2.2.10, i386, Realtek 10Mbs PCI Ethernet, Samba 2.05a RPM, all RH updates installed at date of 08/01/99) When using reboot, or halt (or shutdown command) and when a SMB filesystem is mounted in the system (on another Samba on another linux, in my case), the initscripts first shut down network interfaces, and only after, at the end, unmounts filesystems. Problem: the network interface must be up to be able to unmount SMB filesystem. Result: "unmounting filesystems" stays displayed, and the PC is blocked, it waits forever, it won't unmount /, it won't halt or reboot. Solution: scripts should be added/mofied on initscripts package(or maybe in samba package?) so SMB or other network filesystems are unmounted before network interface are shut down.
Actually, smb filesystems should be unmounted by the shutdown of the 'netfs' service - do you have this running?
