I'm not familiar with QNAP but there's nothing for it in fstab, so I presume running the relevant app on your end magically mounts the remote share without consulting fstab? It all looks very much like your init system is simply not umounting the shares at all so when it tries to remount / ro near the end, this fails. The simplest way around this is to add nfsmount to the default runlevel. This will work today as it reads /etc/fstab at startup to mount stuff and your fstab has no nfs shares in it. It reads /etc/mtab at shutdown to umount stuff and your QNAP share will be in that file. I simulated it here and that's the result I got. But this is gentoo, and everything might change tomorrow so YMMV :-) You could also write a scriptlet to do the umount and put it in /etc/conf.d/local - see /etc/init.d/local for details -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
