Hi all, I'm trying to configure a friend's laptop (OpenSuSE 11.1/Gnome) to auto mount a windoze share. I have a line in the /etc/fstab file like this: //192.168.2.3/Export /home/user/mnt cifs user=user,password=secret,uid=user,soft 0 0 Now, this works just fine and dandy if I issue a call to "sudo mount -all" but I'd like to find a way to have the system create the mount automatically as soon as it determines that it is able. I had hoped that the "soft" element in the options might persuade it to do something on those lines, but no luck. Anyway, any suggestions how I should do that? Also, I've noticed that the mount takes quite a time to start up (and using smbclient with heavy debug enabled, I noticed that the system was trying all kinds of things before it finally settled on a way to connect successfully) Any suggestions how I tune it to try only the "successful" approach?
