I currently have my fstab file to automatically mount a windows share when I first log in. This works fine, but every time my computer wakes up I have to remount the files using:
sudo mount -a
Is there anyway that I can get this to do this automatically without me having to type this every time.

/etc/samba/smbfstab

Thanks its working great now. I have one more problem, the mounted drive only allows root to have write permissions. I have tried to change the permissions, but it doesn’t seem to work. How can I mount it so that I don’t have to be root to modify a file.

Use the UID and GID options to pre-set the ownership of the mountpoint.
See mount.cifs(8)

It works, its amazing how much that helped out. I had trying to figure that one out for a while and just couldn’t. I’m still a little use to windows, but I am trying to learn Linux.
