correct fstab wont mount drives on boot

[crazy01]

Gday Guys,


I have a strange problem, I have setup a samba server and it is working great. The problem that i have is that when i put the share into my fstab file it dosent map the network drive. i dont believe that it is a problem with the fstab file because when i run

mount -a

as root it mounts the network drive.

general info

Distro Lenny
Using CIFS

fstab file is

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda1       /               ext3    errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hda5       none            swap    sw              0       0

//10.135.60.10/Multimedia/ /Multimedia cifs exec,user=multimedia,password=multimedia,uid=1000 0 0

any ideas?

try using smbfs instead of cifs

Will give it a try in a few minutes but Im fairly sure that it says smbfs has been replaced with cifs

Thanks for the reply, I will let you know soon

cifs replaced smbfs and suggested to use instead of smbfs

your fstab is correct but the auto options missing
try this

//10.135.60.10/Multimedia/ /Multimedia cifs exec,user=multimedia,password=multimedia,uid=1000,auto 0 0
