Network drives in fstab not always mounting at boot time
For quite some time I have mapped network drives in fstab so they are always there on my desktop. However, with Mageia 2 more often than not, I have to issue mount -a command as root to force a connect.
I assume this is something to do with Linux trying to mount the drives before the network is up. Is there a way of forcing the system to wait until the network's up before trying to mount these drives on my server?
