Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 16.04 fresh install hangs when shutting down.
The system is diskless PXE-booted with a couple of nfs mounted directories 
including homedir.

As I have no persistent storage whatsoever, I don't have any logs, but
in debug-shell, running journalctl -f I can see that it hangs at

[   *] (1 of 2) A stop job running for Raise Network Interfaces (10s / 1min 
30s)Jun 20 20:23:05 $hostname kernel: nfs: server $nfs-ip-address not 
responding, still trying
Jun 20 20:23:05 $hostname kernel: nfs: server $nfs-ip-address not responding, 
still trying
Jun 20 20:23:14 $hostname kernel: nfs: server $nfs-ip-address not responding, 
still trying
Jun 20 20:24:08 $hostname kernel: nfs: server $nfs-ip-address not responding, 
still trying

Second job in "(1 of 2)" is thermald, turning it off does not fix the problem.
Also, this counter "(10s / 1min 30s)" stops visually updating.

server $nfs-ip-address is not responding, because, all network
interfaces are already down at this point.

I am not exactly sure why this happens. Looks like there is a wrong
ordering of shutdown of systemd services, which bring down interfaces
before something nfs-related, but I am not sure if that's the reason of
hanging.


Workaround that fixes the problem:
In /lib/systemd/system/networking.service
comment following line:
ExecStop=/sbin/ifdown -a --read-environment
