Re: nfs filesystem - shutdown issue

That would be one of the first - and simplest - things to check. I've never
had a problem shutting down a system with "stale" NFS mounts, but I can't be
sure that I've ever tried it with a "hard" mount, since we generally avoid
using them.

The other thing is to check that the shutdown scripts exit with rc=0: if
they don't the shutdown won't continue.

My suspicion is the '-H'. A hard mount will have the local
(AIX) system
re-trying as long as the remote (WIN) system is down. That includes
re-trying the "umount" in shutdown. We always mount remote
filesystems with
'-S' soft mount.
