Dear Guix, On other distros (Trisquel, Parabola), I use autofs to mount SMB shares when the user tries to access the directory where the share is to be mounted.
I prefer this over mounting something via the file manager of a DE because I want to access the files in command line, not only via the file manager. I prefer this over something always mounted because this can be on a laptop not in the network where the SMB share is, so this would not work. What would be a suitable way for GuixSD? I see there is an autofs package, is it functional? Will a daemon be started for it or is there another way? Also, which files do I need to configure (I used to configure /etc/auto.master indicating a mount starting point and a file that lists the SMB shares and mount option)? Or is there another method? Thanks for any hint. David.
