You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I recently upgraded Ubuntu from 14.10 to 15.04.
I have 2 samba shares in /etc/fstab that used to be mounted automatically during boot.
After the upgrade, the shares are no longer mounted after boot.

Content of /etc/fstab :
//192.168.2.3/Data /media/Data cifs guest,uid=htpc,gid=htpc,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,noperm 0 0
//192.168.2.3/Backups /media/Backups cifs guest,uid=htpc,gid=htpc,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,noperm 0 0

When booting with the default options (systemd), these two shares are not mounted after boot.
But they mount properly when manually doing : mount -a

The shares get mounted properly when booting if I select Upstart in
GRUB.

It seems that systemd does not wait for the network to be up before
trying to establish the shares (and I imagine Upstart does wait for the
network).

Adding the option _netdev in /etc/fstab  did not solve the problem.

I fixed the problem by setting the shares as automount in /etc/fstab :
//192.168.2.3/Data /media/Data cifs guest,uid=htpc,gid=htpc,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,noperm,auto,x-systemd.automount 0 0
//192.168.2.3/Backups /media/Backups cifs guest,uid=htpc,gid=htpc,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,noperm,auto,x-systemd.automount 0 0
