Once the system gets into this state, the only remedy is a forced power-off. What seems to be happening is that an NFS filesystem that auto-mounted over a WiFi connection cannot be unmounted because the WiFi connection is enabled only for my login and gets torn down when my UID is logged off.
Any suggestions on how I can configure things to avoid this? I really don't want to expose my WPA2 key by making the connection available to all users.
my experience is A) NFS doesn't like unreliable networks, and B) WiFi isn't very reliable.
perhaps using the 'soft' mount option will help, along with intr ?
Making use of the "intr" option would require that the umount process have the console as its controlling tty. AFAICT, having been invoked from the init process, it has _no_ controlling tty. Hard to send a SIGINT that way.
Really, I don't think the problem is specific to WiFi. I believe I'd run into the same thing for any network connection that was not marked "Available to all users" in NetworkManager.
