I first noticed this when my bootscript brought down the wireless before it umounted the cifs share, and it hung the shutdown. Recently i was copying some files over with a nautilus window open. I lost connection and the nautilus window & the cp process froze. ps said that they were stuck in D (Uninterruptible Sleep). I read it's a kernel problem if something gets stuck in it. umounting the cifs filesystem didn't even wake up the process, I had to reboot (which didn't work right because something was stuck with a file open). Anyone got any ideas on how this could be fixed?
