I'm just mounting mine by right-click mount on a desktop icon.

I've been watching this thread for a couple of days, thought I'd try the 
solution.

Michael's way hung my system when I did the service restart, then after the 
reset button reboot I still had the sync in the mount anyway.

Changed the system Chris's way, told system to restart, got kernel panic, CUPS 
I think, but now it's going again the sync has gone.

Hope I can now shut down the system cleanly.
