Quite a lot of people with issues being unable to shutdown after upgradeing to 11.10 and it seems a lot of us have nfs shares mounted. I see the above error message when booting up on the console before LightDM kicks in.

I then also see an error relating to rpcbind trying to restart during shutdown, which they seems to halt shutdown as not all processes are killed, I am thus concluding this is an issue relating to rpcbind or similiar.

It'd be great if we can get someone who knows what they are talking about to dealing with this bug, since having a PC that doesn't shut down and needs to be hard powered off is a right pita.
