Public bug reported: I recently upgraded Ubuntu from 14.10 to 15.04. I have 2 samba shares in /etc/fstab that used to be mounted automatically during boot. After the upgrade, the shares are no longer mounted after boot.
Content of /etc/fstab : //192.168.2.3/Data /media/Data cifs guest,uid=htpc,gid=htpc,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,noperm 0 0 //192.168.2.3/Backups /media/Backups cifs guest,uid=htpc,gid=htpc,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,noperm 0 0 When booting with the default options (systemd), these two shares are not mounted after boot. But they mount properly when manually doing : mount -a The shares get mounted properly when booting if I select Upstart in GRUB. It seems that systemd does not wait for the network to be up before trying to establish the shares (and I imagine Upstart does wait for the network). Adding the option _netdev in /etc/fstab did not solve the problem. I fixed the problem by setting the shares as automount in /etc/fstab : //192.168.2.3/Data /media/Data cifs guest,uid=htpc,gid=htpc,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,noperm,auto,x-systemd.automount 0 0 //192.168.2.3/Backups /media/Backups cifs guest,uid=htpc,gid=htpc,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,noperm,auto,x-systemd.automount 0 0 ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => systemd (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1458100 Title: Samba shares in fstab fail to mount on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1458100/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
