Perhaps. On a Qube3 Pro shutting down network services
seems to be the offensive process. I have had users
log off hoping to terminate smb shares without any
change in reboot times. This machine also smbmounts a
pc for backups. After the last reboot and some archive
searching that indictated long reboot times when NFS
mounts are involved, I have decided to umount the pc
before reboot.
