Persistent Samba Share

Question

There are hundreds of entries for this - and as far as I can tell I am doing it right.

But it is not working...

I run a latest Raspbian (Debian Wheezy) Distribution on a Raspberry Pi. I have configured a fstab entry for a Samba share on my NAS

//medienzimmer/Qmultimedia/Musik /mnt/Musik cifs username=XXX,password=XXX,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,auto 0 0

I can easily to "sudo mount -a" and the share gets mounted. But It will never happen persistent after the system boots.

The Raspberry Pi is connected via WLAN to the network. I have cifs-utils installed. Any clues what I am missing here (must be something basic ;)

Edit:

This seems to be a prevailing Debian Bug/Regression. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=643651

My fix was using a simple init script:

sudo touch /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnas && chmod u+x /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnas

Content:

#!/bin/bash

mount /mnt/Musik

Answer 1

I don't even know what the auto is, but am missing the _netdev thing.

I know this has to be a last resource, but in case everything else fails you can do the mount from an init.d script making sure it is executed after networking scripts. Am also not hundert percent sure about, but believe custom init.d scripts tend to be put by the system the latter in the init script.

As far as I can see, you are only missing server IP, 192.168.1.11 for this example:

//192.168.1.11/medienzimmer/Qmultimedia/Musik /mnt/Musik cifs username=XXX,password=XXX,_netdev 0 0

ps. try without charset and file and dir mode first and _netdev, cause I understood you are trying to mount network device.
