You have been subscribed to a public bug: Since updated to kernel 4.18.0-16 from 4.18.0-15, samba shares are not automounted, however I can do it manually. When booting with the older kernel, automount works.
Here is the excerpt of /etc/fstab: //fritz.box/FRITZ.NAS/WD-Elements25A2-01 /mnt/NAS/WD- Elements25A2-01 cifs credentials=/work/smbcredentials.txt,uid=kosal,gid=users,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0640,dir_mode=0750,nounix,vers=1.0,user 0 0 #4TB external //fritz.box/FRITZ.NAS/Verbatim-DesktopHDD3-0-01 /mnt/NAS/Verbatim-DesktopHDD3-0-01 cifs credentials=/work/smbcredentials.txt,uid=kosal,gid=users,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0640,dir_mode=0750,nounix,vers=1.0,user 0 0 With new kernel, commands from terminal 'mount /mnt/NAS/WD-Elements25A2-01' and '/mnt/NAS/Verbatim-DesktopHDD3-0-01' both work. /var/log: with older kernel: [[0;32m OK [0m] Mounted /mnt/NAS/Verbatim-DesktopHDD3-0-01.
