I have a raspberry PI on the same network as a WD EX2 NAS
I am having occasional failures to perform an automount at boot time. Most times it works.
the FSTAB content is
//192.168.1.194/docs /home/brian/northfields cifs nofail,username=zzz,password=XXXXX,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlmssp,vers=1.0,_netdev,x-systemd.automount 0 0

A successful mount looks like

I am aware of the warning msg, but when i set this all up a few years ago this was the only mount format that would work. I didnt have mount failures in those days. its only started in recent months
I'd really appreciate any ideas otherwise i just have to keep rebooting until it works!
I had one thought that maybe the NAS was timing down due to lack of use, and so maybe the attempted mount timed out and then the next reboot if done soon enough then works?
thanks
