The following may be used to mount a samba share via your /etc/fstab file for bootup on CentOS/RedHat systems:
Create a password file for the windows mount point where desired:
Example:
vi /root/smbpw.pass
with the following:
username=service_account
password=*********
domain=domaincontrollername
Install cifs and dependencies for samba support with the following:
yum install -y cifs-utils
mkdir /mnt/smb/
mkdir /mnt/smb/sharename
vi /etc/fstab
//windowsservername/sharedfolder/iftherearespacesuse\040 /mnt/smb/sharename cifs _netdev,x-systemd.after=network-online.target,rw,credentials=/root/smbpw.pass,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0
Once setup, use:
mount -a
To test mounting followed by:
df
to validate it was added. Reboot and verify. If it does not load on startup, adding the following to the /etc/rc.local is a great workaround:
sleep 15
_IP=$(hostname -I) || true
if [ "$_IP" ]; then
mount -a #: mount all drives in /etc/fstab
fi
