Hi list,
I am trying to set up an automount of my samba share. It works when
I go
by the IP address, i.e.
//192.168.0.220/julian /mnt/openmediavault cifs
credentials=/home/julas/.credentials,uid=julas,gid=julas,vers=3.1.1,nobrl,auto
0 0
If this is in fstab, it's different from autofs/automount.
Try adding _netdev to mount options.

Yes, this is in fstab. _netdev has helped, thanks! Would you mind
explaining why it was not required when the IP address was being used?
Network is needed either way.
I suspect it's just a race condition related to timeouts etc. Perhaps
the retry/timeout logic of mounting via IP is better than name lookup
timeouts etc.
_netdev is definitely the right fix here but depending on the
portability of the machine (i.e. if it's a laptop) you may also want to
look at x-systemd.automount option too to make it mount the path only
when you try to access it rather than at boot. If not automount, then
perhaps "x-systemd.mount-timeout=infinity,retry=9999" is also useful to
make things more robust (although I'm not sure how these work with cifs).
See man systemd.mount for some more info.

Thanks for the explanation, it makes sense. This machine is a desktop so
automount is not needed, I might use it for my laptop though.
Best regards,
Julian
