I have no problems with SMB or NFS mounts *after* a *successfull* 
suspend/resume.

I used NFS in the past. Sometimes I got the same behaviour that I wasn't able 
to reproduce. Now I found out that SMB and NFS mounts won't be a problem if 
there are no open files on them (I used a shell with the current working 
directory inside the SMB or NFS mount). Otherwise, the machine will hang if I 
go into Suspend Mode.

If there is an NFS mount and I can successfully suspend the machine, I don't 
see a line like "rpc.mountd: authenticated unmount request from..." in the 
server's syslog. If the NFS or SMB mount isn't unmounted if the machine goes 
into suspend mode, I don't know where is the problem. :-/

This may cause big trouble if the ThinkPad is on battery power, since it will 
suspend after 5 minutes idle.
