Auto mount network drive Issue - Jessie

[bookedirl]

I'm having some trouble with mounting my network drive on boot. I did a fresh install of jessie and this was the first thing I tried doing. Once I reboot I can see my usb drive being mounted then after that when it says:

Code: Select all

Here's my fstab (<name> and <pass> contain correct name and pass)
//192.168.1.38/Media /mnt/media cifs username=<name>,password=<pass>,uid=1000,gid=1000,_netdev 0 0

If I do a mount -a when logged in it works so I'm not sure whats going on here. Anyone have any ideas?

it means that also with JESSIE the "cifs" mount problem is still not solved.
as work around you could put the command line
sudo mount -a in a login startup ..
i try to keep all that settings together in one file like in nano .bash_aliases

if you search the forum you will find many remarks not use "cifs", better NFS

I tried this but it did not work for cifs apparently

Code: Select all

mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

It works for cifs. I use it to mount a share on a FreeNAS box. When I upgraded to Jessie it no longer mounted at boot, but now it's ready before I am. You must have a typo somewhere in the line, or something out of place. Here is the line I'm using in fstab

Code: Select all

//192.168.0.98/NetworkFolder /home/jimmy/network-folder cifs credentials=/home/jimmy/.smbcredentials,uid=jimmy,gid=jimmy,_netdev,x-systemd.automount 0 0

Ok, I apologize I have 2 pis/puttys open one has wheezy other has jessie.. when I call this code it doesn't throw any errors. However, when I reboot the pi and see if it mounts properly it gives the same error as in post 1.

Code: Select all

//192.168.1.38/Media /mnt/media cifs username=name,password=pass,uid=1000,gid=1000,_netdev,x-systemd.automount 0 0

I feel like this should just work with the _netdev option based on what I read up on it.. I don't want to do a work-a-round if I don't need to but I guess I will if I can't figure out what's causing not to mount on boot. Could any other settings be effecting this?

in my case, solve it by editing the network interface, to automatically start with dhcp,

edit:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

add as applicable:

Code: Select all

auto eth0
iface eth0 net dhcp


auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Hello,

sorry to late reply, but i had the same problem and this is how i solve it:

first give permission to your mount point:

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R pi:pi /mnt/HD1
sudo chmod -R 775 /mnt/HD1
sudo setfacl -Rdm g:pi:rwx /mnt/HD1
sudo setfacl -Rm g:pi:rwx /mnt/HD1

then, write the line below in the fstab:

Code: Select all

//192.168.0.111/myNetworkFolder     /mnt/HD1   cifs username=MyUsr,password=MyPass,sec=ntlm,uid=pi,gid=pi,_netdev,xsystemd.automount 0 0

username and password parameters are credentials of you network drive, in my case, its a FTP from my router (a USB pendrive)

pay attention on the sec=ntlm parameter, this make all the difference for me

this is it, reboot your raspberry and see it works =]

xsystemd.automount causes the mount to choke with an Invalid argument - it won't even work with a 'sudo mount -a'. removing it and at least sudo mount -a works.

[JimmyN]

That's probably because it should be "x-systemd.automount", rather than "xsystemd.automount".
