looking for a problem. The decision to use this crud was one of the most
boneheaded things any distribution (not just RHEL/Fedora) ever chose
to adopt. Unfortunately, we're stuck with it now.
As far as the NFS unmount issue, this was an interesting dialog
that happened in September last year:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1257
So, "but I doubt that lazy unmounting is really a comprehensive
solution for anything..." comes from one of the developers. Fine, then
when it times out, do a forced umount. This is pretty obvious. The
server isn't listening and we (the client) are shutting down. Pull the
g*ddamned plug!
I'm with David...but this is only one of a litany of stupid decisions
systemd makes. It seems that developers nowadays are never taught how
(or are simply too lazy) to test for error conditions.
