[Bug 379910] [NEW] Automount samba share with smbfs in fstab doesn't work when credential file is stored in encrypted home

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I am using fstab and smbfs to mount my nas-box on startup since 2-3
years on ubuntu. You have to provide an extra mount-option for a
credentials file for user and password.

//IP-Address/SharedFolderName /media/nas cifs
credentials=/home/bernd/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,codepage=cp850,uid=1000,gid=1000
0 0

Since I am using the encrypted home directory on jaunty the automount on
startup doesn't work anymore. If I put my credential file on another
place (e.g: /opt) the automount works fine.
