# THIS IS HOW TO MOUNT A DIRECTORY IN UBUNTU ON STARTUP
# First, let’s create the mount directory. You will need a separate directory for each mount:
mkdir /mnt/windowsshare

# Then edit your /etc/fstab file 
sudo nano /etc/fstab

# to add this line:
//servername/sharename /mnt/windowsshare cifs defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,nofail 0 0
# OR to mount password-protected network folders
//servername/sharename /mnt/windowsshare cifs username=microsoft_username,password=microsoft_password,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,nofail 0 0

# SETTINGS EXPLANATION 
# - servername is the server hostname or IP address
# - cifs is the windows filesystem
# - defaults indicates you don’t need a password to access the share,
# - uid=1000 makes the Linux user (specified by the ID) the owner of the mounted share, allowing them to rename files
#		- to see the uid and gid of a user, type in the commandline:
#		- id <user_name>
# - nofail makes Ubuntu still boot when the mount fails
# - If there is any space in the server path, you need to replace it by \040, for example:
# 		-//servername/My\040Documents
# - The 0775 gives read and write priveliges

# For example:
# //10.0.0.1/data_dir /mnt/windowsshare cifs defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0

# After you add the entry to /etc/fstab, type this command to mount the drive:
sudo mount /mnt/windowsshare
