[SOLVED]Unable to mount cifs shares at startup

shadyabhi · 2010-06-16 15:51:45

My /etc/ftab entry for the share is :

//10.100.56.21/Academic /mnt/Academic/  cifs    username=user,password=pass,_netdev 0   0

And at startup, I get the error :
Error 101, Network is unreachable....

Its a samba share which is password protected.

In my rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network hal networkmanager netfs crond alsa webmin avahi-daemon sshd arch32 samba)

At a guess, networkmanager isn't establishing the Network connection before netfs attempts to mount the share.... I assume after boot you can run `mount -a` and it all goes OK?

exactly as you said, I did mount -a and the shares were mounted.

So, whats the solution. Do I mount share at the end of networkmanager script instead of /etc/fstab?

I don't think there is an 'elegant' solution to this. Add `mount -a` to your rc.local file

You can use the following in your /etc/rc.local
( until ping -q -W4 -c1 google.com &>/dev/null; do
sleep 5
done
mount /mnt/Academic
) &

I just stumbled on this too... Anyone knows if a better solution has been found in the meanwhile ?
