Yes, I just double-checked to make sure that I wasn't being an idiot and
the samba client is installed.

I'm running mount -av from the terminal while the machine is up and
running, not as part of the startup process, so the network is
definitely up and running.

Wonderful spacing between the lines.




Do you actually have the samba-client package installed?




It's a common thing I have run into.




It might be possible that CIFS is not handled the same as NFS, i.e.





that it mount -av, as part of the boot process, is trying to mount it




before the network has been set up?
