Hi Chuck

I can umount and re- mount the shares using the command line (sudo umount -a and sudo mount -a) and it works successfully. I get nautilus sessions opening for each mounted drive every time I do this, which is very annoying!

I can do the following:
hamish@ht-laptop:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.73.10/<sharename> /home/hamish/nas_<sharename>
Password:

And it works successfully :-)

I *really* think that the problem is to do with the system attempting to read the /etc/fstab file and mount the drives *before* the network is up, and the reverse on the dismounts at shutdown/restart.

This works OK, as I get the drives mounted and then a separate nautilus session opens for each connected drive (which as I said previously is very annoying!), but we have the errors in the logs to prove that not all is good with this system of mounting drives.

As you can see, S40umountfs is *after* S15wpa-ifupdown in both the above rc0.d and rc6.d. I *strongly* believe this is the problem.

Hope this helps
