Hang when unmounting cifs filesystem.

After upgrading to Armbian 26.2, I noticed that if I mounted a network drive (samba, cifs) and even accessed it, and then tried to unmount it (sudo umount -t cifs ...), the system would freeze. Upgrading from Debian 12 (bookworm) to Debian 13 (trixie) didn't help. I did a rollback to Armbian 25.x via backup, and this problem doesn't exist there.

I tried various parameters when mounting and unmounting, such as: sudo umount -f /media/..., but the system still hangs. You can't connect to the device via SSH in a new session. If you force a reboot (or sudo systemctl poweroff ) without unmounting it, it won't happen, and you won't be able to connect via SSH. Physically disconnecting the cable also doesn't help.

Hi,
how do you mount the share? It might be that systemd manages the mount in newer systems, then, to umount you have to simply

systemctl stop your-share.mount

You can check with:

systemctl list-units --type=mount --all

To see if the mount is systemd managed

Hi,

sudo systemctl stop media-nano-Z.mount

it really works, but if you forget to do it manually, then when you try to reboot or turn off the single-board computer, it will freeze, because it tries to unmount the disk itself, apparently using umount.

 

Okay, I did all this after upgrading to Armbian 26.2.0-trunk.86 trixie armv7l, and when I tried to unmount the drive the old way with umount, I found that everything worked. It looks like the problem is already fixed.
