I have add a CIFS mount in the Webmin module: Systems | Disk and Network Filesystem and ticked Save and mount at boot. I then checked the /etc/fstab file for the entry and its there, however the share is not mounting upon bootup as expected from the fstab entry, as far as I can see the other items in fstab load just fine at boot.

Here's what does work:

1) The share mounts if I select mount from the entry Systems | Disk and Network Filesystem through Webmin once the machien has started up fully

2) Once booted the share mounts by running: mount -a

So I'm pretty certain that the syntax in fstab is correct. Could it be that fstab is trying to mount the share before the network is ready on bootup? How can I reorder / pause the CIFS line of fstab? Should I put a

Here's the entry in fstab edited:

//serverIP/sharename    /mnt/mountpoint    cifs    workgroup=DOMAIN_NAME,password=PASSWORD,uid=0,gid=0,username=USERNAME    0    0

Any thoughts?
