Make a file system mount stick after reboot?

I have two Linux RH servers running different applications. I need to share a folder on one of the servers so that the other server can mount it. On the one server called "Track" I created the following directory:

\\track\u\CDList (I then made it a samba share so that PC users can drop files into it)

On the other server called "Classpag" I want to mount this folder that is on the track server...I can do it by the following:

#mkdir /z
#mount //track/u/CDList /z

This will mount the remote folder to the /z file system

Now once I reboot this mount will disappear.

What would I need to place into the /etc/fstab file so this will mount every time the server is rebooted?

Being on a different server I think the options in the fstab file need username and password as well.

Re: Make a file system mount stick after reboot?

Here is what I have in the fstab file and it still isnt working. What could I be missing? See entry in bold. The other entries are pre existing.

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2

LABEL=//track/CDList /z smbfs username=**,password=**,sockopt=IPTOS_LOWDELAY,TCP_NODELAY,ro This should be "cifs" not "smbfs", unless you are connecting to a 9x/ME machine.
