Unmounting davfs2 on shutdown takes up to two minutes

Asked by Tronde

Hi,

I'm using davfs2 to mount some webdav resources using the following syntax in '/etc/fstab':

```
https://webdav.mediencenter.t-online.de/ /home/bob/Mediencenter davfs user,rw,noauto 0 0
```

Mounting, using and unmounting works fine but on shutdown. When I do not unmout manually before shutdown, the shutdown process gets delayed by up to two minutes. I think I experience the same behaviour as described in [Unmounting network file system on shutdown](https://askubuntu.com/questions/862494/unmounting-network-file-system-on-shutdown). I would expect that the system shuts down as usual (this takes only some seconds).

* Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
* Packate version: davfs2 1.5.2-1.2

Is this a bug and should I file a bug report if it is? Does anybody know if this issue is already fixed in package version 1.5.4? If so the newer version maybe could be backported to Xenial.

Best Regards,
Tronde

Hi again,

I run some tests with the packages version 1.5.4 from the PPA: https://launchpad.net/~seahawk1986-hotmail/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=xenial

In the version from the PPA the problem is fixed. I was not able to reproduce it.

Now, is there any way to get this package version in universe for Xenial? What do I have to do to get it there? File a bug report with the tag [needs-packaging] or something like that?

Thanks in advance for any advice on what to do next.

Regards,
Tronde

Yes, creating a bug report is the right step.
The tag [needs-packaging] is not the right one (that should be used if a software package has not yet been packaged for Ubuntu at all), but you better mark it with "update-software-version"
