    Samba share doesn't automount

    A recent upgrade seems to have broken the mounting of a samba share during boot. I have a folder on my Mythbox shared via Samba. Previous it worked just fine and mounted during boot. The following line is in my /etc/fstab:

    //192.168.1.114/music /media/music smbfs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,dmask=777,fmask=777 0 0

    However, after I login, the share is not mounted. If I do a:

    sudo mount -a

    It mounts just fine. I have looked at the output of dmesg, but can't find any indication of an error. I am wondering if it is a timeout issue or similar. This just started happening within the last few weeks. Any assistance appreciated. I did search this forum and the Ubuntu forum and did not find this same problem. Other Samba problems, but not this one. Thanks.

      Thanks very much. The article said this was a problem in 6.10, but I never had a problem until 7.04.

        My text reflects my own experience. Based on yours, however, I've updated it.
