When i run:
mount -a
as root user in my virtualbox machine i will get the samba share mounted, so my settings in my /etc/fstab are working:
//192.168.0.99/download /vagrant/Downloads cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,auto 0 0
But why is this share not automounted when my virtualbox machine is booting?
I run virtualbox in headless mode using vagrant. At the moment i need to run this sequence:
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
sudo su
mount -a
While this should be enough:
vagrant up
I am new to debian administration. Is there a log file for fstab / mount issues, that can be viewed after booting? Could it be a timeout or dependency issue on booting? How to debug it best?

The network might not yet be initialized at this point. You can add
_netdevto the mount options. This will delay the mount until the network is connected.
