[linux-cifs-client] how to automatically and periodically mount?

[Mihamina Rakotomandimby]

Hi,

We (in Madagascar) use to turn off the boxes at night.

In the morning, we wake the boxes up all together and the windows boxes 
are a bit slower to wake up (dont feed the troll) so that their share 
are not ready when the Linux boxes try to mount the cifs partitions 
(listed in /etc/fstab).

How to make the cifs mounting to de retried some amount of time later, 
until the mount succed?

Whe are running Xubuntu, and I am a mid-level sysadmin.

Thank you.
