Mount problems during boot

broxtor · 04-21-2007, 03:03 AM

I've installed a command line system of Feisty and installed mythtv on it. During boot I'm trying to automatically mount some network shares (smbfs) but it doesn't work. I have added the necessary entries to /etc/fstab but the shares aren't mounted after booting has completed.
When I do a sudo mount -a the shares are mounted correctly.
How can I make these shares mount at boot?

Perhaps they are attempting to be mounted before Networking has been started?

lets see your /etc/fstab

Thnx for the responses so far. Here's my /etc/fstab:

Code:

Can nobody help me with this?

I can't help with the cause, but could a workaround be to put 'mount -a' in to your rc.local file?

Thanks fukawi2, that works indeed.
