I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but it allowed me to permanently mount a CIFS drive under my personal home folder. I found the directions in Ubuntus documentation at:<br><a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently</a><br>

Has anyone mounted /home or /data (random dir containing user data)<br>
from a CIFS<br>
mount instead of NFS? I'm looking at some performance issues with a NAS<br>
server<br>
and it appears CIFS is more repsonsive. The only problem is if I mount<br>
/home<br>
with:<br>
<br>
//lincoln/home /home cifs<br>
credentials=/root/samba-creds.txt,workgroup=foobar 0 0<br>
<br>
and use the creds of root to mount the dirs, then any files I create as<br>
user "robert" end<br>
up created owned by user root on the server, and thus user root on the<br>
clients hosing<br>
up /home, etc.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
