Network storage in fstab not mounted automatically

Hello,

I have this entry in fstab, DNS323 network storage
//192.168.1.XX/Volume_1/                  /media/DNS323  cifs   _netdev,gid=users,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,sec=lanman,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777  0  0

I can mount it manually without any issues (mount -a)
But it won't mount automatically on boot

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Probably fails because there's no connection (yet).

If you run systemd you can just add noauto,x-systemd.automount to the mount options and systemd will mount it later.
This is what I do for my NFS mounts and I have no issues with it.

You might also want to add 'nofail' just in case the NFS server is down.

or systemd wait network is up and then mount nfs

systemctl enable systemd-networkd-wait-online
