1 Install cifs-utils
Install cifs-utils package.
$ sudo dnf install -y cifs-utils
2 Mount SMB with mount.nfs
Mount SMB with mount.nfs to /mnt directory.
$ SMB_USERNAME=foobar$ SMB_PASSWORD=foobar$ SMB_SERVER=”//smb-server.hiroom2.com/share”$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=${SMB_USERNAME},password=${SMB_PASSWORD} “${SMB_SERVER}” /mnt
3 Manage username and password with credentials option
The credentials option authentication via file.
$ cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/samba/credentials > /dev/nullusername=${SMB_USERNAME}password=${SMB_PASSWORD}EOF$ sudo chmod 600 /etc/samba/credentials$ sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/etc/samba/credentials
“${SMB_SERVER}” /mnt
4 Mount SMB on boot
Add mount entry to /etc/fstab. For avoiding mounting SMB before network initialization, you need to add _netdev option. For making x-systemd.automount to mount SMB, you need to add x-systemd.automount to option.
$ SMB_OPT=”credentials=/etc/samba/credentials,_netdev,x-systemd.automount”$ echo “${SMB_SERVER} /mnt cifs ${SMB_OPT} 0 0” | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
