Make SMB/CIFS mountpoint work on startup when you have to wait for Tailscale to be up

SMB mountpoint in your tailscale network

Since it took a while for me to figure out, I will leave this here for posterity

Use case: You want to be able to mount a networked (SMB/CIFS) filesystem on Linux on startup but that endpoint needs to wait for Tailscale to be up (for instance, in a Synology NAS).

Make sure you specify the options noauto,x-systemd.automount,_netdev in /etc/fstab.

For example:

# /etc/fstab
//[ip]/[path] /mnt/[path] cifs vers=3.0,credentials=/root/.creds,noauto,x-systemd.automount,_netdev 0 0
