CIFS/SAMBA Mount still attempts before network is ready even with _netdev

The title gives a pretty good synopsis. I am running a debian derivative (osmc) on a raspberry pi 2 in this case. and am trying to mount a share. It mounts 100% a ok from the command line or just using mount -a with the exact same /etc/fstab but on boot it does not come up, no matter what settings I tweak.

The entry in /etc/fstab is:

//192.168.10.100/music  /mnt/musicshare cifs    guest,_netdev   0       0

I've checked dmesg and it shows the mount clearly trying to occur before the network is up:

Any ideas on this one?


Solution 1:

Assuming you have an up-to-date version of osmc running, use the following options instead:

x-systemd.automount,noauto

This results in a systemd automount unit being created. See systemd.automount for more details.
