Hi list,
I am trying to set up an automount of my samba share. It works when I go
by the IP address, i.e.
//192.168.0.220/julian /mnt/openmediavault cifs
credentials=/home/julas/.credentials,uid=julas,gid=julas,vers=3.1.1,nobrl,auto
0 0
If this is in fstab, it's different from autofs/automount.
Try adding _netdev to mount options.

Yes, this is in fstab. _netdev has helped, thanks! Would you mind
explaining why it was not required when the IP address was being used?
Network is needed either way.
I suspect it's just a race condition related to timeouts etc. Perhaps
the retry/timeout logic of mounting via IP is better than name lookup
timeouts etc.
_netdev is definitely the right fix here but depending on the
portability of the machine (i.e. if it's a laptop) you may also want to
look at x-systemd.automount option too to make it mount the path only
when you try to access it rather than at boot. If not automount, then
perhaps "x-systemd.mount-timeout=infinity,retry=9999" is also useful to
make things more robust (although I'm not sure how these work with cifs).
See man systemd.mount for some more info.
