=automounting network shares via /etc/fstab=

With the usual caveats to be careful editing the /etc/fstab file, as you can disable your ability to boot with a single typo...

==fstab==

Start with your existing <code>/etc/fstab</code> file. Here is a sample:

<pre>
# root filesystem
UUID=9f60d333-5a92-4e27-a83a-52f4a033cebf / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap
UUID=c9139e0a-19b0-4478-a86e-a5d0ee4f74a4 none swap sw 0 0
</pre>

==adding nfs to fstab==

Add the files to include the NFS share:

<pre>
10.5.5.5:/share/documents /mnt/documents nfs users,rw,auto,nolock,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10 0 0
</pre>

This accesses the NFS shares at the IP address <code>10.5.5.5</code>, specifically the ones at <code>/share/documents</code>, and mounts them locally at <code>/mnt/documents</code>.

The various options do things like telling to keep the drive mounted if possible, not to wait longer than 10 seconds for the share if it is unavailable on the network, and end the line with 0 to indicate no consistency check is needed on boot. (systemd is required for the x-systemd.automount option to be understood).

==adding samba to fstab==

Samba shares can be added to <code>/etc/fstab</code> similarly:
