 Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 10:49 pm Post subject: Remote CIFS filesystem is not mounted automatically at boot |
 |
|
Why do I have to manually run a mount -a to have the remote CIFS filesystem to be mounted?
There must be some misconfiguration in the fstab, which is the following:
| Code: |
/dev/sdb2 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sdb3 /home ext3 noatime 0 0
#/dev/sdb1 /boot ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
//192.168.1.5/Volume_2 /mnt/nas/volume_2 cifs auto,username=fulvio,password=,iocharset=utf8 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
|
Thanks a lot, Fulvio |

| You did not mark your network filesystem as _netdev, so it is mounted before the network is available. This fails. |

I hope, you ereased the password for security reasons, when posting. Otherwise, cifs wouldn't know the password and the mounting will fail. I don't know about the _netdev mark, but I do not use that mark, when connecting a cifs share at boot. here is my example:
| Code: |
//server/share /mnt/backup cifs defaults,auto,credentials=/etc/.smbpasswd 0 0
|
In my example, the credentials are stored in the .smbpasswd file. You can verify it in this [1] link.

I've tried adding _netdev and the behaviour has not changed.
The share is on a private nas and readonly, but the lack of password shouldn't be a problem as the command mount -a is working fine, and also on the wiki ubuntu page at the link it seems like the same configuration with username "guest" without a password is mentioned as a configuration that is supposed to work.
Another very annoying issue is that when i run the mount -a the system can't perform the entire shutdown process: it blocks trying to unmount the /home filesystem without success.
I really don't know what to check to solve the problem |
