I had such problems but they were related to systemd.
We're happen to have NFS mounts on our hosts and when shutting down, the
network could be disabled before NFS was unmounted. The shutdown will then
hang. This happens not always but sometimes and it was very nice to debug.
The simple solution was to mount NFS with the option
x-systemd.requires=network-online.target
so that systemd knows it should unmount it before disabling the network.
