CIFS moutn in /etc/fstab behave randomly

I am on my phone atm so i cant find it. Check the sticky thread about systemd in this forum, pepedog suggested it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('karog', 'I')f that is not reliable, take a look at Cannot automount Samba share from fstab and a solution near the end using noauto,x-systemd.automount options to mount on first use. But also see that there are some hang issues unmounting and links to that.

It appears lots of people have run into this problem for years now and it is surprising it hasn't been dealt with more cleanly.

yes it is this one. So you would have something lilke this POST_UP="mount -t cifs -o user= pass= iocharset=utf8 && mount -t cifs... && mount -t cifs.."
or make a skript with the commands and execute it with post_up

Thanks! I will try.

I think script is better, as I will start minidlna in the script (and remove minidlna from systemd start at boot) as well after the shares being mounted.

Will umount before reboot be an issue if the shares are mounted this way?

[moonman]

Shouldn't be a problem as minidlna should start after network.target -> so only after the netcfg is finished which will happen only after mounts are done.

[jerry0000]

pass "noauto,x-systemd.automount" to the mount option as mentioned by karog actually works well. I think this is a more elegant solution.

Thanks all that helped.

noauto doesnt mount the share until you access it, i thought thats what you were trying to avoid
