I'm trying to have two network shares automatically mount upon rebooting my machine but I'm having no luck. I've read through several similar AskUbuntu questions but I can't seem to get it to mount the shares on rebooting. This is my current configuration:
/etc/fstab:
//192.168.1.18/FileDepot /mnt/FileDepot cifs credentials=/home/user1/.credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,user,sec=ntlm 0 0
//192.168.1.18/Incoming /mnt/Incoming cifs credentials=/home/user1/.credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,user,sec=ntlm 0 0
In my home folder, I have the .credentials file:
username=user1
password=mypass
As I mentioned, this will not autmatically mount the shares on a reboot, but if I manually run:
sudo mount -a
it works.
I'm running Xubuntu 15.10 x64. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or missing?

Here is some output from dmesg:

I've tried using ethernet and no wifi, but that didn't help. I'm not sure where to go with this now.

I've been able to solve the problem on my system by adding
x-systemd.automount,
to the list of options in my fstab entry. I was seeing the same problem with Raspbian Jessie (from Wheezy) which led me to a forum post.
