Hello. I'm having trouble staying connected to a cifs share and I want to try mounting it with autofs. But I can't find a package for it. I've been trying to connect to http://tardis.tiny-vps.com/ for a whole day but it seems to be down. Can anybody help me find a package?
TIA

I tried that - setting up automount in fstab - and it seemed to be working fine. The share would unmount after 1 minute of no activity and mount instantaneously when I ls'd the mount point. BUT after I cd'd into the actual mount point directory (/mnt/Work), the share got lost again just like it does when it's mounted at boot. But now it throws a "No such device" error instead of "Host is down." Then when I try to remount it I get the "No such file or directory" error, which is what was happening before.
When I do systemctl status mnt-Work.mount
I get:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of mnt-Work.mount changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.')
But when I run 'systemctl daemon-reload' nothing changes. The status message includes the last time the share was mounted,
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'août 06 14:39:47 alarm systemd[1]: Mounting /mnt/Work...
août 06 14:39:47 alarm systemd[1]: Mounted /mnt/Work.')
but not the automatic unmount after one minute, which it was showing every time
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'août 06 14:00:52 alarm systemd[1]: Mounting /mnt/Work...
août 06 14:00:52 alarm systemd[1]: Mounted /mnt/Work.
août 06 14:01:52 alarm systemd[1]: Unmounting /mnt/Work...')
(at least 10 tries) until I cd'd into the mount point. I should add that I can connect to the share with no problem with smbclient. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

I don't have much experience with samba exports nor with autofs vs systemd so I can't help beyond providing that wiki link. I use NFS all the time and I use systemd's automount in /etc/fstab to manage it without issue.

Thanks! I'd love to try to set up the share as NFS, but Windows 7 Ultimate won't let me do it. It seems it can handle NFS as a client, but not as a host.
Anyway it's staying connected longer. It's when I actually cd into the share's mount point directory and then not do anything that it seems to screw up.
Thanks again! Maybe someone else has an idea. To me it looks as if the CIFS VFS has been told the host is down and refuses to try to connect again.
