Help | Mounting error in Hetzner Storage Box
Hey Folks,
I'm facing a issue while mounting the Hetzner box to my vps.actually the issue is it will automatically get unmounted if i restart the vps. I'll drop the exact steps that i followed when mounting the box.
Step 1
- as usual install the cifs-utils
**apt install cifs-utils **
Step 2
*Mounting the storage box.
mount.cifs -o user=uxxxxx,pass=xxxxxx //uxxxxx.your-storagebox.de/backup /home/fsn
Step 3
*adding a line to /etc/fstab
//uxxxxx.your-storagebox.de/backup /home/fsn cifs cache=loose,iocharset=utf8,rw,credentials=/etc/backup-credentials.txt,uid=0,gid=0,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
But, It's all good until the next reboot. I have to redo the step 2 once every reboot.
Syslog Output : https://notepad.link/3a9yq
Can anyone suggest me a solution on this please?

You don't have to do step 2 when you first set it up.
Just start at step 3 - once done run 'sudo mount -a'
If it fails to mount the problem is with your fstab entry.
I'd manually put in the credentials first to see if there is a problem reading the credentials.txt. checking with 'mount -a'.
I'd also put the user uid & gid dependant on where you are mounting again checking with mount -a.
