Hello everyone, I've been trying to find a fix for a problem I have with a permanent cifs-share. When entering the share into fstab as normal using the hostname it defaults to using ipv6. However as this is a home setup and I regularly get a new IPV6 prefix the IPV6 address of my server changes. This results in a broken mount and a host unreachable. Apparently the cifs-mount does not try to re-resolve the hostname if it becomes unreachable. Entering the IPV4 brings its own problems, as while this is static it prevents the share from mounting on boot with the error: [ 9.689442] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation. [ 9.689445] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -101 I have only found other people with similar issues to this. It takes much longer than with IPV6 for some reason to get to a stage where mounting is possible. Any ideas on how to fix either situation? Best regards, Felix
