SMB Mount Assistance

[Daniels25143]

Good Morning, I'm trying out SCALE in a VM on ESXi, and trying to test out all my use cases, one of which is running Plex. In order to do my testing I've mounted a SMB share from my main server in order to test out plex by editing my /etc/fstab file. This works fine, but on reboot, the fstab edits I made are no longer there, and I have to edit the file on each reboot. Any reason for this behavior or is there something I should be doing different?

I wound up solving my own problem using a solution suggested for mounting an NFS share. I added a command as part of the Init scripts under advanced to mount the shares I needed.

Can you provide a link to the solution. Thanks.

I used this post to clue me in on what to do, as the /etc/fstab file doesn't persist between reboots. I did the following:

1. Go to System Settings -> Advanced
2. Click "Add" in the "Init/Shutdown Scripts" section
3. I used the following in each of the fields:
   1. Description: Mount SMB
   2. Type: Command
   3. Command: sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,vers=3.0,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials //10.X.X.13/data /mnt/shares
      1. I have a file in root with the credentials for the share.
   4. When: Post Init
   5. Timeout: 10

This is a great help, I have been trolling all around the forums looking for a way to accomplish this.
