[1] Last time I tried smb with fuse it was unstable and does not allowed me to configure what to mount where at boot time. AFAIK fusefs-smbnetfs cannot be used the same way as mount_smbfs in fstab. So I think smbnetfs is not usable solution in our environment even if it works stable and fast. Kind regards Miroslav Lachman
