=== AutoFS can be used to replace Gigolo ===AutoFS is a utility that allows a user to automatically connect to, mount, and use a samba share when the desired mount point is accessed and disconnects when not in use. It offers some distinct advantages over other methods. Unlike the standard fstab method there is no delay in booting the machine if the target server is not present and because of the way it designed there is no delay if the server goes down before you logoff the client.See [https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=144997 HowTo: Auto Mounting Samba Shares Using AutoFS] for details.
