[Bug 44874] Re: auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot

[ipguru99]

ok, get this.  I put this in my /etc/fstab:
//deb/andrea    /home/bkastor/test-mount smbfs noauto,users,sync,username=andrea%password,dmask=777,fmask=777 0 0

(which I can type in .. using mount -t.. and it works)

After putting this in the fstab, I open a terminal and type in:
sudo mount //deb/andrea

It asks me for my password (sudo).. then HANGS... I have deleted this file and created a new one.. just to be sure.  But I can run this script without the dmask and fmask options... Really weird?  Nobody has contacted me about this being a bug though... mabye I am not telling my story well enough?
thanks...
