Hey Folks,

I'm facing a issue while mounting the Hetzner box to my vps.actually the issue is it will automatically get unmounted if i restart the vps. I'll drop the exact steps that i followed when mounting the box.

Step 1
as usual install the cifs-utils
apt install cifs-utils

Step 2
*Mounting the storage box.
mount.cifs -o user=uxxxxx,pass=xxxxxx //uxxxxx.your-storagebox.de/backup /home/fsn

Step 3
*adding a line to /etc/fstab
//uxxxxx.your-storagebox.de/backup /home/fsn cifs cache=loose,iocharset=utf8,rw,credentials=/etc/backup-credentials.txt,uid=0,gid=0,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0

But, It's all good untill the next reboot. I have to redo the step 2 once every reboot.

I'll drop the /var/log/syslog details as below

Can anyone suggest me a solution on this please?

PS : Got the file permissions as below

sudo ls -l /etc/backup-credentials.txt
-rw------- 1 root root 47 Dec 28 16:37 /etc/backup-credentials.txt

    -13 should be permission denied, so maybe wrong login/password in /etc/backup-credentials.txt? Wrong format? Wrongly encoded? Some special chars that are getting split/parsed by CIFS/systemd scripts and you need to put it in quotation marks ""?

    Try manually mouting via mount.cifs and credentials=/etc/backup-credentials.txt rather than providing user/password and see what happens then, what it complains about, what is in logs etc :D

    username=uxxxxxxx
    password=xxxxxxxx

    entered as above format. nothing changed. they have mentioned that on their docs

    EDIT- removed some wrong misleading comments from me.

    I'm reading it all wrong. My apologies.

    Can you see (after you boot) if mount /home/fsn works fine?

    Try with last field as 2. Also, make sure this line is at the end of /etc/fstab (or at least after / and /home).

    That's what I wrote first, then I realized that's only for fscking and so has no bearing here (or so I think anyways).

    @Sanjue007 - I'm very curious to see if things work WITHOUT the uid=0,gid=0 parts. That is what you're manually trying anyway. Can you test out a few iterations by removing options and see if things work?

    Get rid of the uid=0 and gid=0 parts in the fstab entry. You don't have it in your manual command and the defaults for these parameters are 0 anyway. I suggest go the otherway from only the bare minimum essential (or nothing) to check if it works on reboot (without manual intervention) and to gradually tune/tweak with more parameters once things work.
