is this PC connected wirelessly ?

Yes but the NAS is connected directly to the router via ethernet

OK something tells me the shares are being brought up earlier than the network .. which is odd as cifs should wait :/

I know in PM3 you had to use smbfs and add a switch to tell it to wait.

Erm .. you may have to gimme till tomorrow to search for a solution as that switch doesn't work with cifs

You online tomorrow ?

try shutting down .. then restarting the PC .. see if that works ?

is this the respin or the original PM4 ?

[Emegra]

You online tomorrow ?

Yeah I'll be on in the afternoon, my grandaughter stays with us from 5pm and I try to spend the evening with her on a saturday

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

is this the respin ?

what's the output from:

Code: [Select]

dpkg -l | grep smb

and

Code: [Select]

dpkg -l | grep cifs

[Emegra]

is this the respin ?

No it was installed with a pre respin disc and updated

Code: [Select]

OK, leave it with me till tomorrow..

We have 2 options here .. figure out why cifs isn't waiting for the network to come up .. or possibly run a script with a delay that runs "mount -a"

We'll figure it out

Odd that cifs waits on my system .. and keeps attempting to connect till it gets there.

Have you still got gigolo installed, and are the mounts set to automount in that ?

[Emegra]

Have you still got gigolo installed, and are the mounts set to automount in that ?

Yes Gigolo is still installed and all shares set to automount, would it be worth trying  un-installing Gigolo and rebooting again ?

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

I doubt if it'll make a difference, but worth a shot .. until tomorrow, you'd just need to run:

Code: [Select]

sudo mount -a

after rebooting.

[Emegra]

ok see you tomorrow then thanks again for your help

Try this...

Code: [Select]

sudo gedit /etc/network/if-up.d/my-custom-mountall

when a BLANK file opens, make it read:-

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
mount -a

SAVE the file, and close gedit.

Back in the terminal run:

Code: [Select]

sudo chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/my-custom-mountall

reboot to test.

If that doesn't work .. just delete the /etc/network/if-up.d/my-custom-mountall file.
