This works in the terminal.. sudo mount -t cifs -o username=user,password=pass //10.100.136.4/bus /media/bus



This does not work in fstab on boot.. //10.100.136.4/bus /media/bus cifs username=user,password=pass,_netdev 0 0



What am I doing wrong? I need this to automatically mount this share on boot.
I can run sudo mount -a and mount the drive manually after boot, so I thought maybe the _netdev is not delaying properly? I have set a static IP in the network manager but have not tried in /etc/network/interfaces yet, that shouldn't make a difference but??



cfis-utils is installed.



Another odd thing is when I connect to the share in Gnome>Files>Connect to Server with the same creds, I get rw access to the share. But when using the mount command, I only have read permission. Same when I connect to the share in Windows, read and write. This really isn't an issue as even though I cannot write to the share, the application that I need to backup to the share can!?
I would really like to understand that.



The share is on another ubuntu desktop. I created a new linux user "user", a new group, assigned that user to the group, set permissions.. pretty much followed this tut..https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/system-config-samba-ubuntu-16-04

          You may try to wait a little. Change to your specs and add to /etc/rc.local:



          (
          until ping -nq -c3 10.100.136.4; do
          # Waiting for network
          sleep 1
          done
          mount -t cifs -o vers=1.0,credentials=/home/<user>/<creds_file>,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,_netdev //10.100.136.4/bus /media/bus 2> /home/<user>/mounterr.log
          )&


          Sure you may left the direct user/password in the command, but to have the special file with creds may be more convenient. The format of the file is



          user=<user>
          password=<password>


          There may be some unexpected nuances. For example, I had to add "vers=1.0" whith the Linux Mint 18.3, while it was not necessary in 18.1.

          • Yes, that would certainly work... as a workaround, but it should not be this hard to mount at boot but appears it may be. I had not seen this post when i asked the question here but it seems very similar with similar suggestions to yours. [linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/delay-mount-947028/]
