 |
|
| I have a cifs share listed in fstab. On boot it tries to mount before its connected to the network so it doesnt get mounted. How can i tell it to wait util the network starts to mount. I know ive done this in the past on other distros but i havent really needed to deal with this in a while so I am not sure where to look now. |

That option seems to only work on nfs shares. It seems on other distros I would use the systemd automount option to do this but I am not using systemd. |

doralsoral,
If cifs does not provide an equivalent of the nfs bg option don't mount it in /etc/fstab.
/etc/fstab is read by localmount, which is in the boot runlevel.
Networking is started in the default runlevel.
Write a one liner to perform the mount and put it into
See the README that is already there.

I figured it out. add _netdev to the options in fstab and then add my net interface to the default runlevel. |
