I can finally hibernate (suspend-to-disk) my laptop again, but now I ran into a problem with NFS mounts that are hanging.

I use NFS mounts to machines at home and I forget to unmount them before I hibernate the laptop. When I get to a client, the NFS mount is stale and it screws up a lot of things. Nautilus crash and the machine keeps on trying to get the mount back. I cannot unmount it as it is wedged there. I had to reboot the machine to get it to release the mount. So much for the advantage of hibernating.

umount -f -l <mountpoint> But I assume there's some bug lying deeper in the pit, as even when resuming in the same environment, old mount points don't work any more. This is yet to be investigated, though.

In the past I use a wrapper script that checks for NFS mounts and unmount them before hibernating. I could set the battery monitor to use that script to hibernate, but now, in SuSE 10.2, the battery monitor that is used does not have that option anymore. The shutdown toolbar applet also do not give options to configure anything.

/etc/sysconfig/powersave/events: EVENT_GLOBAL_* You should be able to add a script here. It has the advantage, that it is always called, no matter how the suspend was triggered (except for by using the direct kernel interface).

I also looked in the powersave config and I did not find an option to unmount NFS mounts.

Any idea how one is supposed to do this in SUSE 10.2?

You may try using soft and timeo mount options. That way at least it will not deadlock and you should be able to umount. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
