** Sorry if it is not appropriate to post this type of subject here, I have tried to post on the recalbox forum but there doesn't seem enough knowledge over there in order to resolve the issue ** ( https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/33434/mount-fstab )
Firstly I'm new to RPIs I've just gotten my first one which was a PI5, I'm not however new to Linux hence why when ( https://wiki.recalbox.com/en/tutorials/ ... -samba-nas ) this advise completely and totally FAILED! -- I resorted to the the knowledge I knew;
I put this into fstab;
//192.168.1.200/RAID/Roms /recalbox/share/roms cifs username=<blank>,password=<blank>
rebooted -- to a thunderous nothing, after relogging back in and discovering it wasn't mounted, punched it with a mount -a and did a file update in recalbox and all was right with the world.

I did find some solution:

Yep, I knew that, I didn't want to put there my real username and password. The link you gave did work. Three differences from what I was doing: 1. The mount line on /etc/fstab uses "user", not "username" 2. I had to add the 'mount -a' option to nano /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation 3. I had to do a 'mv /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation /etc/init.d/S92emulationstation' in order to set that file as the one to boot from and mount everything. Solved! Nice![😉]()
Thanks!

Which completely borked to the system perhaps because it's old advice I'd imagine, I have tried the wiki's advice but that doesn't work either;
( https://wiki.recalbox.com/en/tutorials/ ... -samba-nas ) as I said before.
Any help would be appreciated.
