Hi, I have a linux system (Suse 8.1) and have managed to get samba set up to access my Windows Share. I have edited the fstab file and entered all details (After alot of tweaking) and am able to successfully mount my SMB drive during a session.
However, when i reboot. it fails to mount, I then have to log in as SU and manually mount it. I have noticed that the network Fails to initialise on boot, and is backgrounded (But by the time i get into Linux it has connected). The mounting of the SMB drive is shortly after the network connection, I therefore think the network is not connected when it is trying to mount the drive. are there any flags i can put into the fstab file to background the mounting of the SMB drive? Or does anyone know the solution to this problem?
