Update on problem mounting NFS share

[Steve Matzura]

I gave up on the NFS business and went back to good old buggy but 
reliable SAMBA (LOL), which is what I was using when I was on Debian 8, 
and which worked fine. Except for one thing, everything's great.

In /etc/fstab, I have:


//192.168.1.156/BigVol1 /mnt/bigvol1 civs 
vers=2.0,credentials=/root/smbcreds,ro


That should work, right? Well, it does, but only sometimes. If I boot 
the system, the remote share isn't there. If I unmount everything with 
'umount -a', wait a few seconds, then remount everything with 'mount 
-a', I sometimes have to do it twice. Sometimes, the first time I get a 
message from mount about error -95, but if I wait the space of a couple 
heartbeats and try 'mount -a' again, the share mounts. If I look through 
/var/kern.log for errors, I don't find anything that stands out as 
erroneous, but would be glad to supply extracts here that might help me 
to trace this down and fix it.


TIA
