They are not critical to the server functioning. However I do want them to auto mount at boot if the windows server is up as it usually is, yet not fail to boot if its down. Here is one of the lines from fstab: //dweimer@homeserver/Pictures /smbfs/homeserver/Pictures smbfs rw,late,-N 0 0 I have the password of course saved in /etc/nsmb.conf, it mounts fine manually, and correctly mounts at reboot. However when I rebooted the FreeBSD server with its Network disconnected as a test. It failed and dropped to single user mode, is there an option I can set on the fstab line that allows it to continue in this case, besides noauto which prevents it from mounting at boot? -- Thanks, Dean E.
