could also be a problem with NFS version - ubuntu default is NFSv4 as far as I know, and some NASes (Synology, looking at you!) only support NFS3. I remember having problems with that, and falling back to samba as a consequence.

comment How do I diagnose Hang on Shutdown?
The problem is I can't reproduce it at will, it doesn't happen on every shutdown. But that question about quiet splash is gold, I'll remove those and wait for a hanging shutdown..

comment Netbook performs hard shutdown without warning on low battery power
I had this problem once on an old laptop which I had to boot with the acpi=off option. Maybe some ACPI problem could also be blamed in your case.
