https://askubuntu.com/questions/640118/nas-wont-auto-mount-at-boot - no answers

CIFS FSTAB won't start at boot and mount -a doesn't work as expected - not related, sudo mount -a works for me

CIFS mount through fstab not mounting at boot - 2 answers, neither one works

My fstab entries are like:

//192.168.1.9/music /media/music cifs credentials=/home/media/.smbcredentials,_netdev,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

None mount at boot.

I don't get any errors or anything when I use sudo mount -a. Wired CAT5 connection. 192.168.1.9 is a Synology NAS. is it possible that I need to put some sort of wait in here? I added _netdev for that reason when I was on a wireless connection...

  • Try using //192.168.1.9/music /media/music cifs username=the_username,password=the_password 0 0 then run mount -a to see if it works. Also make sure you have cifs-utils installed. – Andrew Jun 09 '16 at 03:27
  • If it works then something is wrong with .smbcredentials – Andrew Jun 09 '16 at 03:29
  • but why would it mount with mount -a if the smbcredentials was goofed up? – jcollum Jun 09 '16 at 13:24
  • The only reason to use smbcredentials is so you don't have to put credentials in fstab. Look closely at my first comment. – Andrew Jun 09 '16 at 22:11

    Having the same problem. mount -a works, but SMB/CIFS share fails to mount at boot. I've read _netdev doesn't work anymore, but haven't seen a working replacement, nor specific documentation that netdev doesn't work anymore. Related: http://askubuntu.com/a/787363/19193 states that netdev doesn't work for NFSv4 (still worked for NFSv3 and nothing about CIFS). – jb510 Jun 20 '16 at 03:08
