Automount shares+fstab

[KrGAce]

Hello,

I am wondering if someone can help me with the following. I am trying to auto mount shares to my freenas server. I have the shares setup and can browse to them, but I want them to automount everytime I login. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my entries. I got these from searching the web. Many thanks in advance.

AceMan (please see below)

kfreenasg is the name of my server
/Documents and /Music are the correct shares.
I have also created the directories after /home/krgace..
krgace is the right user name.

# my smbfs shares:
//kfreenasg/Documents /home/krgace/mounts/Documents smbfs username=krgace,password= 0 0
//kfreenasg/Music /home/krgace/mounts/Music smbfs username=krgace,password= 0 0

This is one of my favorite How-To's for mounting Samba shares.
Here is an FSTAB How-To for good measure...)

That's all fine and good, and there's a bunch of info here, but I think I have read the same thing on other sites. It just basically doesn't tell me why mine doesn't work.

It's like someone asking a question why doesn't this work, and someone else saying "oh that's because you need to read this 1000 page book". Don't get me wrong I am grateful for the site, however it just doesn't tell me what/where I am going wrong.

Instead of using the server's short name, try its IP address. I had to do that to get my boxes to mount SMB shares.
