CIFS Shares used to work, now won't mount at all

If the network is not available when fstab is parsed - then the share will not be mounted but is likely to cause a system hang for 120s.

Please see the mount unit samples topic in the Tutorials section on how to properly mount a samba share or you can use the utility script using gio.
