I'm having the same problem, and other users from the ubuntuforums.org site are sharing my experience. It looks like some type of race condition. Adding _netdev to the mount options does not help. So far it seems like there's a "slight chance" the CIFS share will mount on boot, but in most cases it does not. Running mount -a always mounts it properly.
This is the thread where it has been discussed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466599 Unfortunately I can't help much further than this. I just know that doing something that I've done for 10 years has suddenly stopped working in the latest distribution in a way that seems to be related to the new boot process. Currently users are able to 'hack around the issue' by adding ifup.d and ifdown.d scripts, but it would be preferential to have normal fstab functionality back. -- Samba fails to mount at boot works later https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
