network share drives me mad

[Scott(0)]

Hi Greenisland,

I am trying to mount a network drive at book using fstab, but I would be perfectly happy to do the same thing by putting a mount command such as is described here in my rc.local file.

For some reason I am finding that when I test the command from a terminal, by putting for example

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=username,password=yourpassword,uid=username,gid=users //192.168.10.11/Files /home/dave/ZShares/Files

I find that it does not work the first time, and gives me the error

I don't have a specific answer but for clarification on my end, have you tried the test command above in the rc.local file? I understand that it gives an error in the terminal but what happens when it's run from rc.local?
