[SOLVED] cifs mount in fstab

nixIT · 2012-11-30 23:51:11

Hello all,

got my system up and running, with the exception of automatically connecting to CIFS shares via fstab.

Here is my fstab:

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>	<dir>	<type>	<options>	<dump>	<pass>
tmpfs		/tmp	tmpfs	nodev,nosuid	0	0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=6ee7eda6-59f2-469b-b5c7-1648c8babbbd	/         	ext4      	rw,relatime,data=ordered	0 2

# /dev/sda2
UUID=78385fe7-0ab7-49e2-940b-1b9932176e25	/home     	ext4      	rw,relatime,data=ordered	0 2

# swapfile
#UUID=67152dce-1e26-4db0-b500-a8b91ffe55de
/swapfile	none	swap	defaults	0 0

# /dev/sda3
UUID=779f0bfe-c3b7-45df-b089-b7c5f0457390	/mnt/hold	ext4      	rw,relatime,data=ordered	0 2

# /dev/sdb1
UUID=da3031d4-55ab-45ad-8db7-b008ec432fb2	/mnt/data	ext4      	rw,relatime,data=ordered	0 2

//srvnas/dvd /mnt/dvd cifs uid=nixit,credentials=/mnt/data/docs/smb.creds	 0 0
//srvnas/bluray /mnt/bluray cifs uid=nixit,credentials=/mnt/data/docs/smb.creds	0 0
//srvnas/music /mnt/music cifs uid=nixit,credentials=/mnt/data/docs/smb.creds	0 0

After login in from a fresh boot, the mount points /mnt/dvd(bluray, music) are not mounted. If I execute:

sudo mount -a

I can now access the nas mount points.

Not sure what to look for to see what's going on.

any ideas?

You shouldn't realy have to specify this, but what happens if you add 'auto'?

A possible problem would be if

/dev/sdb1

is not already mounted, cause there lives your credential file.

Unfortunately, this did not work.

hmmm, this never seem to be an issue before, only after the reinstall.

I moved sdb up in the mount chain to give it time to actually be mounted. With systemd, does sdb get mounted in fstab? I thought I remember reading that the drives are mounted someplace else. Could be wrong though.

There is nothing like an automount in arch, except you implement it. Try x-systemd.automount as mountoption is fstab. See also the Wiki entry.

This did not work for me either, not sure if I had the systemd.automount in the correct spot. I can't access that system now, but when I get home I will post where I put them in the fstab file.

I added this:

//srvnas/dvd /mnt/dvd cifs uid=nixit,credentials=/mnt/data/docs/smb.creds,x-systemd.automount	 0 0
//srvnas/bluray /mnt/bluray cifs uid=nixit,credentials=/mnt/data/docs/smb.creds,x-systemd.automount	0 0
//srvnas/music /mnt/music cifs uid=nixit,credentials=/mnt/data/docs/smb.creds,x-systemd.automount	0 0

to my work system, and it worked like a charm, will have to give this a shot at home later, but I'm confident that it will work.
