How to mount a samba share at login
I need to mount a smb share in my laptop. I added it in fstab, but it doesn't seem to be mounting at boot. I need to type mount -a manually to mount it. I think it is because the laptop is not getting connected to the network when its booted. I tried to add a cron to mount it 1 minute after reboot, but it is also not working.
Since I am the only one using this laptop, it is Ok to mount it when I login. So how to add a cronjob to mount it when I login ?
OS: ubuntu 16.04
samba running in a raspberry pi in home network
16.04 mount samba cron

Can you post the relevant line in your fstab? My setup mounts samba shares every boot with no trouble.

Try adding,nobootwaitafter your,password=xxxxentry. My fstab entries also have,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=[me],gid=[me],but I don't know if that is relevant to your problem.

Your tag says you have 14.04 but your question says 16.04. It's important because 16.04 doesn't supportnobootwait. If you really have 16.04, trynofailinstead.

I have done this but the drive does not mount. I think it may have to do with network services being unavailable when it attempts to mount.
