I guess there's in fact something like a try to mount your smb share before loading smbfs module. Have a look at dmesg and the syslog file to see some logs about the order of those things.<br><br>The thing is this list is maybe not the best list to discuss this kind of issue :). I guess having a look and posting into the ubuntu forums would increase your chances to have the right answers and to meat people who already solved the problem you're encountering:
<a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/">http://ubuntuforums.org/</a><br><br>Crawling the forum a bit, maybe using autofs would be a good idea: this would automatically mount the windows share the first time you access it: <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1547296&postcount=6">

<br>I have now got a working share on the windows XP home machine, that I can<br>access from the Kubuntu Feusty box from within KPA.<br><br>I also have an entry in the fstab file<br><br>//Su/Pictures /home/pics smbfs user,auto,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 0
<br>0<br><br>but on boot this entry does not work. I have to use<br>sudo mount -a<br><br>and then the share works.<br><br><br>I read an article somewhere that mentioned that in ubuntu versions 6.10 and<br>later that there was a problem in the order the startup scripts were run,
<br>and the system tried to mount files before the network was connected.<br><br>It recommended using the mv command to move the network startup script in<br>etc/rcS.d from s40networking to s29networking to start the network script
<br>before the mount fstab script.<br><br>Well, I tried that and still no good.<br><br>Any ideas on how I can get this mount to work on startup?<br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>KPhotoAlbum mailing list
