Re: [PLUG] Linux mount of Windows share keeps dropping

Put it automount. If a network issue and you use it sparingly, it will mostly stay unmounted.. and then mount when you use it. Saw this while waiting in car (parked) so did not read the whole thread, if this was touched upon. Do a search, you just need to put the login/passwd in a credentials file.

This morning I tried mounting it with every version listed in the
manpage for mount.cifs. 1.0 is the only one that worked.

Aside from that I'm not sure I understand what it is you're suggesting
I do. Remounting it requires entering both my local password (for
sudo) and my network password, so it would be tricky doing that via
something like cron.
