When selecting upstart in grub, the shares mount automatically. When booting with upstart, journalctl says : No journal files were found. Instead, I used dmesg to generate a log file. I attach it here in case it is useful.

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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1458100/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
