I'm really not sure what to make of all this. My fstab has several cifs filesystems in it, and none of them mount at boot regardless of whether _netdev is specified. I don't know whether that's because of this bug -- it's not even clear to me _exactly_ what this bug is about -- or some other bug that is or is not in the database already. I don't know what I can do to help move the process forward of getting this issue -- which apparently affects other people besides me -- fixed. I'm surprised that this bug is almost two years old and nobody seems to care about the fact that network filesystems in /etc/fstab don't work on Ubuntu.

P.S. for me, it's 15.10 that's not working.
