I have tried everything in this forum. Does anyone really know or is it all trial and error?
It will mount using:
systemctl start mountpoint.mount
after the system is up and running. However, when using the .automount in systemd, it does not work.
I have tried using the server name & also by IP address, neither one works on boot. I even tried to modify systemd config options as well, still not working. At first I thought it needed to have Name Server Support loaded (after nss-lookup.target) still not working.
For what its worth its a CIFS share. It mounts automatically on other machines using fstab (yes I tried that on this machine as well - not working). I want to use systemd to automount. I could spend days reading the code for systemd, but I don't think that's a good use of my time.
Someone tell me why this does not automount at boot. I am tired of just trying things constantly. Please don't tell me to TRY something else.
noauto + x-systemd.automount + _netdev does not work in fstab.
Running Ubuntu 20.10 does not mount on boot, however it does work with systemctl start mountpoint.mount.
