Windows sharing is designed as a 'link when used' option. Not as a permanent mount like Linix treats it. Even 'mounting' in Windows doesn't mean the share is actually accessed. A windows CIFS server will not be reliable enough for long term mounting. With Samba, it does work more reliable. (In my experience) For this reason, I use KDE/Dolphin to access CIFS shares. It is closer to how Windows expects the shares to be treated. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
