I've been trying to mount an unraid share on my RPi.  I've been able to do it with NFS but I'd much prefer SMB (the only reason I have NFS running is for this mount).  I've checked all manner of sites but can seem to get it to work.  If anyone has a working example, or might know what the issue is, that would be very handy.

Did it ever work?  I have been trying for hours, have tried every incarnation of syntax I can find online, and cannot get it to mount with rear/write access for user "pi" via the mount command, and cannot get the share to mount at all using /etc/fstab

What are you doing at the RPi end to define the UnRaid SMB share?  I have Unraid shares defines in the ‘etc/fstab’ file on my RPi and they seem to mount OK.

I'm also using multiple Raspberrys and Ubuntu machines, and all of them mount fine using cifs and /etc/fstab.

 

Have a look here for reference:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently

I've tried:

 

#//192.168.0.5/temp /home/pi/temp cifs username=pi,password=password,uid=1007,gid=100,dir_mode=0770,file_mode=0770 0 0
#//192.168.0.5/temp /home/pi/temp cifs x-systemd.automount,users,credentials=/home/pi/.smbcred 0 0
//192.168.0.5/temp /home/pi/temp cifs credentials=/home/pi/.smbcred,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
 

 

The last one is from the reference site you linked.  The commented one in the middle works with "sudo mount -a" but none will survive a reboot.  The first the third throw syntax errors with "sudo mount -a"

 

I've tried about a half dozen other variations that googled turned up, just didn't keep track of them.  Funny thing is, I can use just about any syntax or options I want when mounting manually from the command line; they all work.

Nothing survives a reboot.

 

 

A post I read elsewhere indicated that the network might not be available during the reading of /etc/fstab.... Since its on wifi, this is highly plausible, no?  Interesting, I may investigate that a bit.  

I've tried _netdev, delay_connect, and x-systemd.after=network-online.target

 

Nothing persists after a reboot.

Went into raspi-config and under boot options I enabled "Wait for network at boot."

 

Works now.
