Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 via an upgrade from 8.04. In 7.10 and 8.04 my auto
mounts of shares on my windows box specified in my /etc/fstab worked
like they should after the wireless connection on my laptop was
established. This no longer is the case under 8.10. If I run "sudo mount
-a" the shares are mounted. The relevant lines in my fstab are:
//192.168.4.10/NetworkShare /media/windows_f cifs nodfs,auto,rw,users,nounix,credentials=/root/.creds,uid=ttwaro,gid=ttwaro 0 0
//192.168.4.10/NetworkShare2 /media/windows_o cifs nodfs,auto,rw,users,nounix,credentials=/root/.creds,uid=ttwaro,gid=ttwaro 0 0
I've tried with and without the "nounix" parameter and with and without
the "users" parameter as well as with and without the "nodfs" parameter.
Nothing different. The mounts work manually every time after the
wireless connection, via NetworkManager, is established. They are just
not automatically mounted anymore since 8.10. Since they mount manually,
and that the mounts use to work automatically, I have to believe that my
credentials are correct.
I have even tried the "_netdev" option but that gives an error message
that it is an invalid option for CIFS.
I have recently added the intrepid-proposed repository and updated to
kernel 2.6.27-11-generic but still no luck.
This is more of an inconvenience that a show stopper but still this
should work. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong in my
setup.
