It comes up till the point where it states "network started" and Kodi hangs then. Luckily it's still accessible via SSH, so I could easily comment out the samba shares again and it boots normally afterwards. So this is not a solution, but autofs sounds as if it can do the trick. Will try and report...

Ehm, I forgot to mention, that if you're using noauto as mount option, that mountpoint will be merged into autofs automagically for nfs, nfs4 and cifs mounts (of course, not only if noauto is set, but it only makes sense if noauto is given)

For example, I'm using

Code:

kmcubie:/usr/src/xbian     /usr/src/xbian          nfs     defaults,noauto                            0       0

in my /etc/fstab for years and XBian is merging this into file /etc/auto.master.d/auto.xbian

Code:

/usr/src/xbian -fstype=nfs,defaults,noauto kmcubie:/usr/src/xbian

Look into file /etc/init/autofs-rebuild.conf, there is the magic code ...
